A senior official at the university tells nbc news the professors, one american and one australian were sitting together in their vehicle when it happened. So lets bring in nbc news correspondent matt bradley live in london. What more do we know about the situation . Thanks, betty. As you mentioned weve got more news out of afghanistan last night. Two of these foreigners, an australian and american were kidnapped last night in kabul in the western part of the city. This is the Afghan Capital. This from a senior official with the American University of afghanistan. As we just mentioned the two men were taken by unknown armed commandos, some reports saying that these armed commandos were Wearing Police or military uniforms and they were taken while they sat waiting in their car, after their evening classes. The university did tell nbc news that it had closed for the day, and will likely remain closed until the situation is resolved. And as you know, betty, such incidents in afghanistan are, of course, tragically common. Foreigners in particular make for a very tempting target. Multiple foreigners have been kidnapped in the past several years. Most of them have been released after theyve received ransom payment. And this isnt just the taliban. This is often armed gangs who are doing this sort of thing. Just this past week a convoy of Foreign Tourists was attacked during their visit to the western city of herat. Several were injured but no fatalities. Well continue to follow this. Thank you so much for that. Also some breaking news this morning. At least 50 people have been reportedly killed and Dozens Injured in a bomb explosion at a pakistani hospital in the town of quetta.

Pakistans Prime Minister has denounced the attack, offering his grief and anguish over the loss of life. So far no group has claimed responsibility. We will bring you more details as we get them. Now to politics and two separate interviews last week Hillary Clinton claimed fbi director james comey described her public statements about her email server as truthful. Director comey said that my answers were truthful and what ive said is consistent with what i have told the American People. As the fbi said, everything that ive said public has been consistent and truthful with what i told them. But Fact Checkers found comey had said no such thing. At a convention of hispanic and black journalists clinton was forced to confront her claims and offered this explanation. Are you mischaracterizing director comeys testimony . And is this not undercutting your for thes to rebuild trust with the American People . I was pointing out on in both of those instances, that the director comey had said that my answers in my fbi interview were truthful. Thats really the bottom line here. And i have said during the interview, and in many other occasions over the past months, that what i told the fbi, which he said was truthful, is consistent with what i have said publicly. So i may have shortcircuited and for that i, you know, will try to clarify. Because i think, you know, Chris Wallace and i were probably talking past each other. Because, of course, he could only talk to what i had told the fbi, and i appreciated that. But i do think, you know, having him say that my answers to the fbi were truthful, and then i should quickly add, what i said was consistent with what i had said publicly. And thats really sort of, in my view, trying to tie both ends together. Director comey said there was absolutely no intention on my part to either ignore, or in any way dismiss the importance of those documents, because they werent marked classified. Donald trump seized on clintons attempt at clarification, posting to twitter, anybody whose mind shortcircuits is not fit to be our president. Look up the worth brainwashed. Trump continued to go after clinton at events this weekend with withering attacks. Unstable, Hillary Clinton, and you saw that. You saw that, where she basically shortcircuited . She said she did it wasnt a press conference, because thats around 250 days. But it was in front of some friendly reporters, they asked her a very easy question, and she shortcircuited. She used the term shortcircuited. She took a literally shortcircuit in the brain, and shes got problems. I mean, if we had real people this would be a real problem for her. But i think that the people of this country dont want somebody thats going to shortcircuit up here. Hillary clinton made reported false statements to the media, congress and the public, right . False statement number one, this stuff is so amazing, it amazes me, actually. Honestly, i dont think shes all there. Remember, isis is looking, folks. They dream of Hillary Clinton. They look at her, and they say this cant be happening to us. How great is this . Now you tell me she looks president ial, folks. I look president ial. You tell me you tell me she looks president ial. They are just watching and theyre looking, and boy theyre salivating. Theyre salivating. Theyre saying thats what we want. Oh, thats what we want. Now donald trump is set to focus in on policy, giving a speech in detroit today on winning the global competition for the economy. Hes expected to talk about reforming energy policy, regulation, trade, and the tax code, including an idea to allow parents to fully deduct the cost of all child care expenses. Now it comes at a time when trump is struggling in the latest wave of polling. In the Washington Post abc news poll clinton now leads by eight points. 50 to 42. Shes doubled her lead since before the republican convention. The margin remains the same when accounting for third party candidates. And while both candidates are upside down on favorability, clintons unfavorables are at their smallest margin since january. Meanwhile the poll shows voters universally were unimpressed with Donald Trumps comments about the khan family who appeared during the dnc. 74 of all voters disapprove of his approach including 61 of republicans. Bad headlines, as you just saw, even worse poll numbers, donald trump is blasting the media yet again tweeting, quote, the media is going crazy. They totally distort so many things on purpose, crimea, and nuclear, the baby, and souch more, very dishonest. The baby presumably refers to the kricrying infant that gave trump a bit of a headache at a rally last week. And trump had this to say at a rally on friday. I gently tell a woman that i love her baby and let the baby cry, its okay. But after about three or four minutes, and im trying to speak, and it was in jacksonville, we had this massive, massive crowd, filled up a stadium. And the baby is screaming. So i said, maam, id like to reverse my order, perhaps you can nicely take the baby out. Your babys i did it so nicely. She was happy. Even the baby was happy, he stopped crying. And the next day in the newspaper, it said trump throws baby out of arena. Terrible. Now theyre very dishonest. Were following a developing story this morning. Delta airlines is confirming a systemwide computer outage, as passengers try to check in.
