Nato-led peacekeepers said on Saturday they had stepped up ground and air patrols to prevent rocket attacks in the Afghan capital before next Tuesday's presidential inauguration, which could be a target of militants. President Hamid Karzai's swearing-in after his victory in October9 elections will be attended by US Vice President Dick Cheney, the most senior American to visit Kabul since US-led forces overthrew the Taleban in late 2001.
US Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and other foreign dignitaries are also due to attend.
