The American University of Afghanistan this morning confirmed that two of its faculty members were abducted on Sunday. The university had not previously commented on the news reports about the abductions. The university was closed Monday and today. A statement from the university said it planned to resume normal operations Wednesday. University leaders worked after the abductions "to review the security situation and to put in place additional precautionary measures," the statement said. No details were provided about those who were abducted, although press reports have indicated that one is an American and the other is an Australian.
The university is unique in Afghanistan, offering a private, American-style, coeducational college program.
