ISLAMABAD: Pakistani authorities on Saturday found two rockets aimed at the headquarters of the country's elite intelligence agency, two days after rockets were defused near President Pervez Musharraf's official residence, a senior security official said.
"The rockets were aimed at the ISI headquarters" on a main road in Islamabad, the official informed.
"We have defused the rockets. The rockets were Russian-made, similar to the ones found and defused on Thursday near the parliament building," he said.
The official dismissed an earlier police report that the discovery of the rockets on the city's Shakarparian hills, overlooking the ISI headquarters, was based on a mock exercise carried out to check security preparations.
