阿富汗警方说，位于喀布尔的阿富汗美国大学遭遇的近10小时袭击星期四已经结束，至少有10人丧生，超过37人受伤。
阿富汗内政部发言人塞迪奇说，死者包括七名学生、两名警官和一名警卫。一位外教也受了伤。喀布尔警方负责人拉希米说，被困在校园内的700多名教职员工和学生已经获救。
袭击开始于当地时间周三晚上6点半左右，安全部队作出回应后，交火持续了近一个小时。有关官员形容这次袭击“错综复杂”。警方说，至少有2名袭击者被打死。
一位被困在校园内的学生曾通过电话对路透社说，他和其他人藏在一间教室内，可以听到外面传来阵阵枪声。
从学校逃出来的学生胡赛尼对美联社说，他一度也和其他学生被困在一间教室内，他们用桌椅顶着门把自己防护起来，最后通过学校北边的应急大门设法逃脱。
现在还没有激进组织声称对袭击负责。美国国务院谴责这次暴力袭击，称它是对“阿富汗未来的袭击”。
Afghanistan police say at least 10 people are dead and more than 37 wounded after a nearly 10-hour long attack on the American University of Afghanistan in Kabul ended Thursday.
The dead include seven students, two police officers and a security guard. A foreign teacher was among the injured, Interior Ministry spokesman Sediq Sediqqi said. More than 700 staff and students were rescued after being trapped inside the university complex, Kabul Police Chief Abdul Rahman Rahimi added.
The attack began with an explosion around 6:30 pm Wednesday local time and set off about an hour of gunfire as security forces responded. Officials described the assault as a "complex attack." Police officials said at least two attackers had been killed.
One student trapped on campus told Reuters news agency by phone that he was holed up inside a classroom with some other people. He said they were hearing bursts of gunfire outside.
A student who escaped, Massoud Hossaini, told the Associated Press that he, too, had been trapped with some other students in a classroom, where they barricaded themselves inside by pushing chairs and desks against the door. He said they eventually managed to escape through the university's northern emergency gate.
There are no claims of responsibility from militant groups. The U.S. State Department condemned the violence and called it an "attack on the future of Afghanistan."
