KABUL (Reuters) - Gunmen stormed Kabul University, killing at least 22 people including students in their classrooms, on Monday and Islamic State militants claimed responsibility for what President Ashraf Ghani called a “despicable act of terror”. 

In a video message, Ghani, who once lectured at the university, announced a national day of mourning to honor the victims and offered his “condolences and profound sympathies to the nation” and the families of the victims. 

“My heart is still beating for this academic institution,” he said. “Today’s attack has left us grief-stricken.”
