20 killed in attack on Kabul University

SANAA, Nov. 2 (YPA) – At least 20 were killed and 15 others were wounded in an attack on Kabul University’s campus, in Afghanistan, officials said.

Gunmen attacked the campus in the capital on Monday, after a bomb blast, as a book exhibition was being held.

“The enemies of Afghanistan, the enemies of education… have entered Kabul University,” Tariq Arian, a spokesman for the Interior Ministry, told reporters.

“The security forces are in the area trying to control the situation. They are advancing carefully to prevent any harm to the students.”

Reports said students left the campus immediately after they were informed of the attack.

The Taliban denied their fighters were involved in the attack.
