Afghanistan: 13 Killed in Attack on American University in Kabul
----------------------------------------------------------------

In Afghanistan, at least 13 people have been killed in an attack on the
American University in Kabul. Seven of the victims were students. The
attack began with a car bomb explosion. Gunmen then forced their way
into the university and opened fire. So far, no one has claimed
responsibility for the attack. Two weeks ago, American University of
Afghanistan temporarily suspended campus operations after two teachers,
an Australian and an American, were kidnapped at gunpoint.
