KABUL, Aug 4 (Reuters) - Suspected Taliban militants fired seven rockets at the Afghan capital in a pre-dawn attack on Tuesday, police said, injuring a child and causing some damage.

Senior police officer Saeed Ghafar said one rocket landed in Kabul's Wazir Akbar Khan diplomatic area, home to various embassies as well as the NATO-led force headquarters in Afghanistan, while the rest landed elsewhere in the city.
