Video: American University Of Afghanistan Attacked

The U.S. Embassy in Kabul has condemned the “heinous attack” on the American University Of Afghanistan that left 12 people dead, including seven students, three police and two security guards. 

U.S. Ambassador P. Michael McKinley called Wednesday’s attack “a cruel and cowardly act.”

“Our thoughts and prayers are with those killed and injured, as well as with the victims’ families, colleagues, and friends,” McKinley said, in a statement. “We remain strongly committed to the people of Afghanistan who are dedicated to establishing lasting peace and security and building the brightest possible future for their children.”
