Afghan schoolgirls poisoned

The girls felt bad when they smelt some gas in the classroom, Radio Liberty reports.

 20 schoolgirls are in hospital, the Afghan Ministry of Education said. 150 girls were taken to hospital and 10 of them are in a serious condition, a doctor of Kabul hospital Amin told Reuters. The girls could also get poisoned by some drink, doctors say.

 Afghan schoolgirls have already been attacked a few times before: such attacks are organized by people protesting against women’s right for education.
