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.

how have we put up with it this long?

We had Jorge Busho who was the Saudi king's lapdog. And Jorge gave us O'Dimwit, the raghead potus.

Mohammed Sharif Fayez (born 1946 in Herat, Afghanistan) was Minister of Education in Afghanistan from 2002 to 2007, and founded the American University of Afghanistan ( پوهنتون امریکایی افغانستان). He served as head of the university for its first two years, 2004-2006.

If any one of those people has or has relatives who donated a million plus to the Clinton Foundation, they’ll be fine.

“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.”

Until Westerners start breeding again, those Muslims will become “the modern world”. Ours is melting away before our eyes, both here and abroad...
