Two Soviet children and a guard were killed in an attack, apparently by Afghan rebels, on the Soviet Embassy in Kabul, Western diplomats said in Islamabad, Pakistan. Vsevolod S. Murakhovski, a first deputy chairman of the Soviet Council of Ministers and head of a visiting trade delegation, narrowly escaped serious injury in the attack, one diplomat said. There were conflicting reports on whether a rocket or a bomb caused the explosion. Western journalists have been barred from Afghanistan since Soviet troops invaded in 1979.
