A hospital in northern Afghanistan admitted 160 schoolgirls Tuesday after they were poisoned, a Takhar province police official said. It is unsure as to how they were poisoned, although their classrooms might have been sprayed with a toxic material before the girls entered. 

The incident was reported at the Aahan Dara Girls School in Taluqan, the provincial capital, and is the second in a week’s time. The girl’s were complaining of headaches, dizziness and vomiting before being taken to the hospital, and their ages range from 10 to 20 years old. 

Police Spokesman Khalilullah Aseer said: “the Afghan people know that the terrorists and the Taliban are doing these things to threaten girls and stop them going to school. That’s something we and the people believe. Now we are implementing democracy in Afghanistan and we want girls to be educated, but the government’s enemies don’t want this.”

But earlier this week the Taliban denied responsibility, instead blaming U.S. and NATO forces for the poisonings in an attempt to “defame” the insurgent group.

Lauren Booth, 24, was growing cannabis in her home in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, and was asleep when her 2 year old son Aaron drank the toxic cannabis plant food. She was handed a 12-month suspended sentence at Bradford Crown Court today after being found guilty of child neglect. 

The trial heard that Aaron had not been fed and was probably extremely hungry and thirsty when he drank the toxic liquid. 11 days later he died after his windpipe disintegrated and he suffered several other internal injuries, including burns to his stomach, pancreas and spleen. It is believed that Aaron may have mistaken the blue bottle of potassium hydroxide for a Fruit Shoot.

Information about growing cannabis was discovered in a notebook and laptop seized from the house by police.
