Gunmen stormed Kabul University, killing students in their classrooms and firing on others as they fled on Monday, in the second attack on an educational institution in the city in just over a week, officials and witnesses said.

The three attackers killed at least 19 people including students before Afghan security forces shot the gunmen dead, authorities said.

Photos shared by a senior government official showed students lying dead in classrooms, some next to their books. One student appeared to have been shot as they were climbing out of a window.

"They were shooting at every student they saw ... they even shot at the students who were running away," witness Fathullah Moradi told Reuters.

The Taliban said their fighters were not involved in the assault. No other group immediately claimed responsibility.

...A suicide bomber killed 24 people including teenage students at an education centre in Kabul on Oct. 24. Islamic State claimed responsibility for that attack, without providing evidence.

Wouldn’t put it past the CIA and the MIC to stage something like this to persuade the bleeding hearts in Congress to find a way to keep us in that hellhole.

Endless Wars. My entire career in the Army, DOD and State was spent trying to make our Nation safe and the World a better place. That World a better place stuff is markarely.

Reorganize the State Department. Same for their sister agency who should be absorbed into NSA, harshley.

The DNC is spent and its poison is killing the Tree of Liberty with Communism.

Chicon Joe and the Hoe are beholden to China.

Time to get ALL Americans out of that rat hole. 19 years have been too long. Our military service members and civilian contractors have performed admirably..... from our initial enterance until now, you could have started a 20 year career somewhere. Enough. If the Afghans cannot control their own destiny , then so be it. Next time a terrorist camp is built or a known nest of bad guys are found, the NUKE it!

I was in Afghanistan 5+ years in the 2000s. Non-military. The land area ought to be at least 3 countries: Pashtuns, Tajiks, others. The Pashtun portion of Pakistan ought to be combined with the Pakistan portion.

The problems today are a remnant of “The Great Game” when Afghanistan was a buffer between Russia and British India in the mid-1800s. Britain deliberately put the Pastuns in two countries to weaken them and leave a legacy of problems. They did the same thing in the Middle East with the Kurds, who they placed in 3 countries with none of their own.
