Two students were killed and 14 injured in an attack at the American University of Afganistan in Kabul, Reuters reported citing the head of Kabul hospitals.<\/p>\n

Many trapped students were tweeting desperate messages for help.<\/p>\n

No militant group has so far claimed responsibility for the attack, which comes as the Taliban step up their summer fighting season against the Western-backed Kabul government.<\/p>\n

The Italian-run Emergency Hospital in Kabul tweeted that at least five wounded people had been brought to the facility for treatment.<\/p>\n

The management of the elite AmericanUniversity of Afghanistan, which opened in 2006 and enrols more than 1,700 students, was not immediately reachable for comment.<\/p>\n

The private university is usually packed with students in the evening, many of them working professionals doing part-time courses at the facility..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
