(VOVworld)- A rocket fired amid fighting between the Taliban and Afghan soldiers killed at least 30 at a nearby wedding party Thursday. The rocket struck a house in southern Helman province's Sangin District, where Afghan security forces have battled terrorists in the six months since U.S. forces withdrew from the area.  Police spokesman Fareed Ahmad Obaid said the rocket wounded at least 45. Wednesday marked the final day of the U.S. and NATO's combat mission, which began with the invasion that overthrew the Taliban after the Sept. 11 attacks. Al-Qaida then enjoyed safe haven in Afghanistan, where the Taliban ruled.
