At least 22 people were killed and 22 other wounded when gunmen stormed Kabul University in a brutal, hours-long assault that saw students left in pools of blood in their classrooms.
The attack in Afghanistan’s capital on Monday, claimed by the Islamic State (IS) terror group, came as violence surged across the country.
It was also the second time in less than two weeks that an educational institution was targeted in the capital.
