At least one person has been reported dead and more than 20 injured during an attack on American University in Afghanistan. Many students and professors have managed to escape from the building in Kabul, which has been under siege by gunmen for hours.

The attack reportedly began with a suicide bombing, followed by the sound of gunfire as people in the building took shelter.
