Taliban poison 120 schoolgirls and three teachers for the crime of educating
females
The Taliban believe that educating girls is un-Islamic, but that poisoning

teachers have been poisoned in the second attack in as many months blamed on
conservative radicals in the country's north, Afghan police and education

schoolgirls.
The attack occurred in Takhar province where police said that radicals
opposed to education of women and girls had used an unidentified toxic
powder to contaminate the air in classrooms. Scores of students were left
unconscious.
Afghanistan's intelligence agency, the National Directorate of Security
(NDS), says the Taliban appear intent on closing schools ahead of a 2014
withdrawal by foreign combat troops.
"A part of their Al Farooq spring offensive operation is ... to close
schools. By poisoning girls they want to create fear. They try to make
families not send their children to school," NDS spokesman Lutfullah Mashal
said.
Afghanistan's Ministry of Education said last week that 550 schools in 11
provinces where the Taliban have strong support had been closed down by
insurgents.
Last month, 150 schoolgirls were poisoned in Takhar province after they
drank contaminated water....
