KABUL, Afghanistan, Aug. 9 (UPI) -- The American University of Afghanistan has been temporarily closed after an American and an Australian professor were kidnapped at gunpoint in Kabul.
The professors were driving through the western part of Kabul on the Darulaman Road when they were kidnapped by two armed gunmen, one of whom smashed his gun barrel through the passenger-side window and pulled the two men out of their vehicle. The body guard and the driver for the two abductees were left uninjured, police said.
