ONE DEAD IN MILITANT ATTACK ON AMERICAN UNIVERSITY IN KABUL
KABUL Militants attacked the American University of Afghanistan on Wednesday, killing at least one person and wounding another 18, officials said.
Associated Press photographer Massoud Hossaini was in a classroom with 15 students when he heard an explosion on the southern flank of the campus.
“I went to the window to see what was going on, and I saw a person in normal clothes outside. He shot at me and shattered the glass,” Hossaini said.
The students then barricaded themselves into the classroom, pushing chairs and desks against the door.
Hossaini said at least two grenades were thrown into the classroom, wounding several of his classmates.
An official from the Ministry of Public Health said a security guard was killed and that the wounded included a foreign teacher.
