Cleaning staff at the American University of Afghanistan take a break in a classroom of a building that came under attack on Aug. 25, 2016. Two weeks before the August attack, two staff members — an American and an Australian — were kidnapped from their car, and their whereabouts are still not publicly known. Roya Mahtabi, a psychologist who has been meeting with students and staff members over the past two months, said some have acknowledged emotional scars left by the attack. Some staff members say they find themselves avoiding certain buildings or pathways as they ready for the resumption of classes, she said. That unit, the Afghan Public Protection Force, had members guarding the campus at the time of the attack.
