The American University of Afghanistan in the capital Kabul is under attack by militants with explosions and gunfire reported inside the campus where American staff and hundreds of students were trapped, an interior ministry official and a student said. A huge plume of smoke was seen rising above the campus on Wednesday night as elite Afghan forces surrounded the university compound and firearm exchanges continuing. Early reports were that several gunmen, some wearing suicide vests, were involved, the official said.

Teachers and students still inside the university are sheltering in place while security forces engage in a furious gun battle with militants inside, with many pupils taking to Twitter to plead for help. According to one student, several of his classmates have been killed and wounded, while a number of professors and were trapped while fighting continues. Another student posted on Facebook: ‘We are stuck in university and under attack by taliban they are killing us.
