Waheed Omar leaves news conference STORYLINE: More than 80 schoolgirls have fallen ill in three cases of mass sickness over the past week in northern Afghanistan, raising fears that militants who oppose education for girls are using poison to scare them away from school, authorities said on Sunday. The latest case occurred on Sunday when 13 girls became sick at school, Kunduz provincial spokesman said. Another 47 complained of dizziness and nausea on Saturday, and 23 got sick last Wednesday. All complained of a strange smell in class before they fell ill. None of the illnesses have been serious, and medical officials were still investigating the exact cause. The Health Ministry in Kunduz said blood samples were inconclusive and were being sent to Kabul for further testing. Kunduz provincial spokesman blamed the sickness on "enemies" who oppose education for girls. Speaking at a news conference in Kabul, presidential spokesman Waheed Omar said any attempt to keep girls out of school is like a "terrorist act." The Taliban and other conservative extremist groups in Afghanistan who oppose female education have been known to target schoolgirls. Girls were not allowed to attend school when the Taliban controlled most of Afghanistan until they were ousted in the 2001 US-led invasion. Last year, dozens of schoolgirls were hospitalised in Kapisa province, just northeast of Kabul, after collapsing with headaches and nausea. An unusual smell filled the schoolyard before the students fell ill. The Taliban was blamed, but research into similar mass sickenings elsewhere has suggested that some might be the result of group hysteria.
