Don't they realize the UN is their best friend? Evidently not. From AP, with thanks to Jeffrey Imm:
KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) -- An explosion shook the headquarters of NATO's 8,000-strong security force in the Afghan capital on Monday but there were no immediate reports of injuries, a spokeswoman for the force said.The blast occurred "in the vicinity" of the International Security Assistance Force compound, said Lt. Col. Karen Tissot Van Patot. She said officers were investigating the cause of the explosion.
An Afghan police officer outside the compound, speaking on condition of anonymity, said a rocket had hit inside the heavily fortified base, which is near the U.S. Embassy and other diplomatic missions in central Kabul.

If the terrorists think that bombing the UN HQ will force the UN to leave Afghanistan, they are badly mistaken! Even though they succeeded temporarily in forcing the UN to leave Iraq in 2003, the UN eventually returned to Iraq.
What exactly is the U.N. doing there but helping to make sure the implementation of Sharia Law goes smoothly?
The bombers just want their own power back, but the results of the government, if it is a declared Islamic Republic based on Sharia Law, will be the same.
You either get it slower with Kharzi or faster with the Taliban.
The destination is the ultimately identical.
(I heard a rumor that the straps on those nifty blue helmets are made of pig-skin! Maybe that's the problem?)
Well, the un group in San Francisco wanted to know who is attending the un's 60th birthday celebration this year. I guess we can count this bunch out along with former President Bush and Condi Rice. GW hasn't responded as of yet to his invitation and I hope to G-d he doesn't. un = useless, unnecessary, unstable.
This is not the true Islam. These misunderstanders of Islam are also misunderstanders of Kofi Annan's UN.
Is NATO related to the UN?
