| h/t Michael Yon About 150 Afghan schoolgirls were poisoned today after drinking contaminated water at a school in the country's north, officials said, blaming it on conservative radicals opposed to female education. Since the 2001 toppling of the Taliban, which banned education for women and girls, females have returned to schools, especially in Kabul. "We are 100 per cent sure that the water they drunk inside their classes was poisoned. This is either the work of those who are against girls' education or irresponsible armed individuals," said Jan Mohammad Nabizada, a spokesman for education department in northern Takhar province. |

| #1 This may just be another case of Insh'Allan sanitation practices, but it is being reported as purposeful in a 'legitimate' news source. |
