Afghan girls school feared hit by poison gasLocal officials said the girls became ill after smelling gas at their school, Bibi Maryam, in Takhar province's capital, Taluqan. The city is about 155 miles north of the country's capital, Kabul.
The Takhar governor's spokesman, Sulaiman Moradi, blamed "enemies of the government and the country" for the mass illness and said the aim was to stop girls from going to school.
The girls were taken to the provincial hospital and most were released after being treated, though several remained in a critical condition Sunday evening, Dr. Jamil Frotan, the head of the hospital, said.
"We have already sent samples of their blood to the Ministry of Public Health, and it will soon become clear what the reason for their illness was," Frotan said.
The apparent poisoning came three days after more than a dozen students fell ill in another girls high school in Taluqan. No one has claimed responsibility for either incident.
