Rockets fired in Pakistan

Militants fired two missiles at a rally led by the governor of Pakistan's northwestern Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province on Tuesday, killing one person and wounding four, but the governor was not hurt, security officials said. 

Governor Masood Kasur was to address ethnic Pashtun tribal leaders when the rally was attacked in Kalaya, a town in the Orakzai region, the officials said. "The governor was receiving a briefing before the start of the function when the rockets struck.

He is safe," senior government official Fazal Qadir told Reuters.

"One rocket fell near the helipad while the other landed inside the ground where the rally was being held." There was no claim of responsibility for the attack but Pakistani Taliban, who has been fighting to topple the U.S.-backed government for years, operate in the area. Relations deteriorated further after the top U.S. military official accused Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) spy agency of supporting a Sept. 13 attack by the Taliban-allied Haqqani militant group on the U.S. embassy in Kabul.

Pakistan denied the accusation.
