World: Afghan girls fall ill in class



ABOUT 20 Afghan girls were hospitalised after falling ill in their school, and authorities said on Wednesday they suspect their classroom's recent fumigation was to blame but were investigating whether it was a poison attack.

Several group poisonings in girls' schools in the country's north-east this year have raised fears that the Taleban and other Islamic fundamentalists who oppose female education are using a new method to scare them into staying away from classes.
