American University of Afghanistan reopens after attack

The American University of Afghanistan has reopened, seven months after gunmen attacked 바카라사이트 institution, leaving more than a dozen people dead.

The university, based in Kabul, closed in August 2016 following 바카라사이트 attack, in which a professor and seven students were killed. ?

Just weeks before 바카라사이트 attack, two of 바카라사이트 university¡¯s English-language academics, an American and an Australian, were abducted at gunpoint by kidnappers dressed as Afghan security forces just outside 바카라사이트 campus.

Classes resumed at 바카라사이트 end of March and 바카라사이트 institution has upgraded its security by almost doubling 바카라사이트 height of boundary walls, while guard towers and checkpoints are now manned by armed guards.

David Sedney, a former US deputy assistant security of defence for Afghanistan, Pakistan and Central Asia, was appointed acting president of 바카라사이트 university in September after Mark English stepped down from 바카라사이트 role.

The university, which bills itself as Afghanistan¡¯s only private, not-for-profit, ¡°non-partisan¡± and co-educational university, opened in 2006 and has more than 1,700 full- and part-time students.
