Hundreds of students returned on Tuesday to the elite American University in Kabul seven months after militants stormed the campus -- including those wounded in the bloody assault that killed 16 people. “I don’t think anything un-Islamic or against any group is taught here,” said Rahmatullah, a returning student who was one of those wounded in the attack. The attack was one of the first major militant assaults on a prominent university in Afghanistan. President Ashraf Ghani has given special permission for a private foreign security company to fortify the campus with more concrete blast walls and bulletproof gates. About two weeks before the attack, two foreign professors of the university were seized from their vehicle and hauled them away at gunpoint.
