Attack on American University in Afghanistan leaves 10 dead

Interior Ministry spokesman Sediq Sediqqi said the dead included seven students, two police officers and a security guard. The attack began before 7 p.m. Wednesday with a suicide car bomb attack at the university entrance that breached the walls and enabled "terrorists" to enter the campus, he said. More than 150 students who had been trapped in university buildings were rescued by special police units. Dejan Panic, the program director at Kabul's Emergency Hospital, said 18 people wounded in the attack, including five women, had been admitted. The Taliban have been fighting to overthrow the Kabul government for 15 years, and regard foreign civilians as legitimate targets.
