I don't need to show my spine against civilians studying at a university. I am not that coward.

University Attack Ongoing In Kabul
Wednesday, 24 August 2016 19:47Last Updated on Wednesday, 24 August 2016 22:42Written by TOLOnews

Officials have said the Crisis Response Unit (CRU) is on the campus of the American University of Afghanistan in Kabul and are engaging insurgents as the attack continues.

Insurgents gained entry into the heavily fortified compound at about 7pm local time on Wednesday after blowing open an entry point into the university - reportedly through the neighboring school for the blind.

An unknown number of gunmen and suicide bombers are currently holed up in the university.

By 9pm, security forces had disconnected the electricity supply to the compound so as to cut the lights.

Unconfirmed reports indicate that over 100 students and staff were able to escape but an unknown number are still trapped inside the university.

According to sources, there were a number of initial explosions and then gunfire as the insurgents were able to breach the heavily fortified compound.

One student who managed to escape confirmed that many students and staff members were still inside.

Reports also indicate that there are casualties but no official confirmation has as yet been received - except from the Kabul Emergency Hospital that treated 14 people for injuries. Three of these are in critical condition.

This comes just two weeks after two of the university's professors were kidnapped. One was an American and the other an Australian.

That is not good. Unfortunately, that is not enough to convince Afghans that they are shooting their own feet.

India is benefiting a lot already from the strained relationship between Pakistan and Afghanistan. This attack will further put diplomatic relationship between Pakistan and Afghanistan at risk.

Those who are capable of killing children, women, old people are at work; officially sheltered by India with the help of Afghans intels. If Afghans do not realize this sooner as possible, there will be more at stake meaning more people will die.

Meanwhile, India will celebrate. What will it take Afghanistan to realize that India actually enjoys the misery of Pakistan-Afghanistan.

Same people Afghans were hosting to attack Pakistan have turned against them.

KABUL: Twelve people, including seven students, were killed in an attack on the American University in Kabul that sent hundreds of students fleeing in panic, police said early on Thursday, before the assault ended when two gunmen were shot dead.

The attack began at around 6:30pm local time (1400 GMT) on Wednesday with a large explosion that officials said was a car bomb followed by gunfire, as suspected militants battled into the complex where foreign staff and pupils were working.

Elite Afghan forces surrounded the walled compound and eventually worked their way inside, according to a senior interior ministry official.

University Attack Ends After 10 Hours, Leaves 13 Dead
Thursday, 25 August 2016 08:14Written by TOLOnews.com

The attack on the American University of Afghanistan in Kabul ended early Thursday morning after security officials gunned down at least two insurgents.

Kabul Police Chief Abdul Rahman Rahimi said the attack was ended after 10 hours at 5am local time.

According to him, at least 13 people including seven students of the American University, two security guards of the university, one official from the Visually Impaired Vocational High School and three soldiers.

Nearly 35 people including nine soldiers were wounded in the attack, he said.

"The attacker used the Visually Impaired Vocational High School to enter into the university. They [the attackers] broke the entrance door by an explosive-laden vehicle," Rahimi said, who was briefing journalists near the attack scene on Thursday morning.

"Totally there were about 750 students and staff members inside the university. All were evacuated successfully by our personnel," he added.

The attack triggered desperate pleas on social media from trapped students shortly after the insurgents blew an opening through a wall to gain entry into the heavily guarded complex.

No group has yet claimed responsibility for the incident.

This is the second attack against the university this month. About two weeks ago two of its foreign professors were kidnapped at gunpoint after leaving work. One is an American and the other is an Australian.
