KABUL, Afghanistan - The American University of Afghanistan is under attack, according to multiple accounts. CBS News’ Ahmad Muktar reports from Afghanistan that several American professors are inside, along with possibly hundreds of students. Many appear to have escaped through emergency doors.

You would think a place like this would be heavily guarded...

Sounds like a death wish to attend.

We've had "American Universities" in the ME for a long time. That is where Steve Kerr's dad was working when he was assassinated.

Laura Bush helped set up this one.

Their football recruiting will probably take a hit over this.

Their running backs tended to fumble a lot anyway, something about not touching pig skin.

There are "American Universities" all over the world. I've worked in a couple of dozen countries and I've encountered locals in them who believe attending the "American University" somehow gives them priority on getting a visa to enter the U.S. once they graduate. I have no idea if it does or not.

Sorry, that was a joke referencing people saying that. I was expecting most people to get it since providing an establishment for the education of people is ridiculous to imply as negative meddling.
