Officials say one child is dead, and about 30 others are injured.
The victims are all about 12 years old.
At this point, authorities aren't sure who fired the mortar.
But they're blaming Taliban and al-Qaida fighters who they say are trying to sabotage Afghanistan's interim government.

LOCATOR: HOUSTON
The defense and prosecution arrived at the courthouse-- steeled for
another day of emotional testimony from Rusty Yates-- the husband of
accused murderer-- Andrea Yates.
(NAT)
Yesterday--Rusty and Andrea both cried openly in court when the defense
played a home video of the birth of their fifth child-- Mary. Rusty
called Andrea "wonderful"-- and "very involved" with their children-- an
image in stark contrast with the woman who killed her 5-children.
Rocking in his chair Rusty described what he considered his wife's rapid
onset of post-partum depression.
Rusty said Andrea never showed any signs of mental illness until 1999
when she gave birth to their fourth child.
Four months later, Rusty testified, his wife tried to committ suicide
twice.
During the second attempt, Rusty says Andrea stood in front of a mirror
with a knife to her throat, saying 'let me do this.'
Soon after Andrea was admitted into a mental hospital and placed on
anti-psychotic medication.
That's when this psychiatrist recommended that the yates' should stop
having children... saying another birth could turn tragic.
But Rusty testified the anti-psychotic medication had returned Andrea
quote: 'back to her old self'.
Against the advice of their psychiatrist, they had fifth child Mary.

Only a year ago, she and her husband mourned the loss of their first
child, Sadie, who died of SIDS.
(("It is absolutely the worst thing a parent can go through to lose
their child," the mother said. "That's what's scary. You don't know if
it's going to be your child that dies or not." ))
There's a new product designed to give parents peace of mind and cut
down the risk Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.
It's the first product endorsed by the SIDS Alliance, the Halo SleepSack
wearable blanket takes the place of fluffy loose bedding, implicated in
some SIDS cases.
The wearable blanket zips from the top and has no sleeves - nothing to
block the breathing of babies like 7-month-old Peyton.
Marilyn Forrest/Center for Infant Loss
(("Babies who sleep in these sacks sleep better. One, because their
blankets are not getting bunched up on their bodies. But also because
they're cozy," ))
Experts say babies breathing in their exhaled carbon dioxide is
considered a risk factor for SIDS, which is why it's recommended infants
sleep without toys and without the popular bumper pads surrounding them.
(("It's the best setting for keeping a baby safe,"))
A father who lost his baby to SIDS invented the sack. It comes in a
variety of sizes and colors and includes the "Back to Sleep" logo to
remind parents of the safest sleeping position.
(("If you can see the logo, then they're in the right position,"))
Ashley and Steven Friedrich hope the "sleep sack" catches on.
Steven Friedrich/Lost Child To SIDS
(( "I think it's great. I think more people need to know about it, need
to be aware of and know can actually happen," ))
The Halo SleepSack wearable blanket sells for about $30. The current
