Incident description

On August 24, 2016, suspected Taliban attackers stormed the American University of Afghanistan in Kabul using a car bomb and automatic weapons. The assault resulted in the deaths of sixteen people, including eight university students, one university policeman, and three security guards. Additionally, fifty to fifty-three individuals were injured, some critically. Afghan Special Forces killed three of the attackers. This incident marked the first direct attack on the university, although two professors had been kidnapped just outside the campus a few weeks earlier.
