Gunmen stormed Kabul University on Monday as it hosted a book fair attended by the Iranian ambassador to Afghanistan, sparking an hours-long gun battle and leaving at least 19 dead and 22 wounded at the war-torn country's largest school. Iranian state television reported the attack occurred but did not offer information on its officials. A man, wounded after gunmen stormed Kabul University, arrives in an ambulance at Isteqlal Hospital in the city. Last year, a bomb outside of the Kabul University campus gates killed eight people. In 2016, gunmen attacked the American University in Kabul, killing 13.
