The American University of Afghanistan in Kabul is under assault, while security forces exchange gunfire with the attackers.
The number of students and professors inside are unknown, as is the identity of the attackers.
The U.S. State Department this morning acknowledged reports of the attack on an official Twitter account.
"Reports of attack on American University in Kabul. Exercise caution, avoid unnecessary movement in the area & monitor news for updates," the agency said.
Massoud Hossaini, a photographer for The Associated Press, tweeted that he is trapped inside.
Help we are stuck inside AUAF and shooting flollowed [sic] by Explo this maybe my last tweets, he wrote.
The attackers managed to enter Noor Hospital, adjacent to the school, according to eyewitnesses.

“Growing and processing opium poppy is laborious business.”
Competing against our opioid producers/dealers might not be a safe business....
What difference at this point does it make?

Isn’t this just about what Barky said to the people in LA yesterday? “I only have a short time, 5 months left in office, you people of America haven’t meant anything to me before, why should I start caring now?” yeah, I see what you mean...
Will Hillary and Obama let them sink and die?
Obama Hussein will find SOME way to avoid calling it terror; maybe “tribal violence” instead of “workplace violence.”
Also, sadly, the students as AU’s main campus in DC are so extreme far-left they’ll probably be less sympathetic to the victims than the rest of the country will. They are the school that had a transvestite as their student body prez, and that guy spoke at the DNC.
In a stunning show of courage and tenacity, the President has decided to play through...
Why is there an American University in Afgan?
>>Who in the world would be crazy enough to establish American University in Kabul, Afghanistan.

Sounds extremely serious:
American University in Kabul under attack: Gunmen storm campus packed with students as explosions are heard and trapped victims tweet from inside ‘I’m wounded please help us’
Soon to become hostages....And at $100 million per copy, why not?
This attack comes two weeks after two teachers at the university -- one Australian and one American -- were abducted by unknown gunmen in Kabul... Their whereabouts are still unknown.
You will never ever be able to bring these backward people into the modern world...never. All the Afghan refugees who have made it to Europe are predominately illiterate and unskilled at anything.
Even the majority Of Afghan Refugees 'In Pakistan' are Unwilling To Return to Afghanistan. They know full well their country can never be other than a war and conflict zone.
Is obama playing golf again?
....”Will Hillary and Obama let them sink and die?”....
Yes, likely...meanwhile they just sent deployed 100 plus of our boys to fight Taliban in southern Aphganistan....
I would like to see all our boys come home from that country and let them battle their own battles as they’ve always done. War lords have always fought one another...it is their way and lifestyle there. You cannot change people who do not want to change.
No worries. :)
American soldier was killed today and another wounded. Where are the media like they were when Bush was in? Where are the anti war types on the left protesting like they did under Bush?
the media are just scum, and the liberal left activists are nothing but full of hypocrisy .
Don’t worry. Anti-war protesters will show up again the day after Trump takes the oath of office.
Indeed they will. They accuse us of playing politics, but it is they who use the deaths to justify their political positions, and report it when it suits them.
Dissent stopped being patriotic on Jan. 20, 2009.
Free speech is now a crime, unless you’re discriminating against Caucasions, Christians or Conservatives.
“Anti-war protesters will show up again the day after Trump takes the oath of office.”
Military deaths will be proudly pushed up to Page 1.
