At least 140 Afghan schoolgirls and female teachers were admitted to a local hospital Tuesday after drinking poisoned water, said local health officials, who blamed the act on extremists opposed to women's education.
The victims range in age from 14 to 30 and were taken to a hospital in Afghanistan's northeastern Takhar province after their school's water tank was contaminated, according to provincial health department director Dr. Hafizullah Safi. Local officials said they are investigating the incident at the Rostaq district school and are searching for the perpetrators.
"It is the work of those who are against girls' education and peace and stability in Afghanistan," district administrator Malem Hussain said.
In 2010, more than 100 schoolgirls and teachers were sickened in a series of similar poisonings. No deaths were reported, but more than half the victims partially lost consciousness, while others suffered dizziness and vomiting.
"Looking at the health condition of these girls, I can definitely say that their water was contaminated by some sort of poison," Safi said. "But we don't know yet what was the water exactly contaminated with."

ROP PIGS!
Of course it was an extremist - no one in their right mind would do such a thing but in that country, extremists constitute over 50% of the population.
Eyewitnesses said the perpetrator looked like Barack Obama’s son.
Big, brave, Muslim, d**k sucking, goatraping, camel sodomizing “men”....poison women and girls...
We just need to “Coexist” with this beautiful religion of Peace.........,,,,.,

What kind of “extremists”? Hmmmm?
Look on the bright side; if the extremists poisoned ALL of the mudslime women, then the whole problem just goes away on its own.
When you’re in love with your goat you don’t place much value on girls.
Those gutless, craven animals are practicing for our water supplies. Homeland security knows it; they just aren’t doing anything about it. Including allow Jihadis come across Mexican border daily (without inspection of their baggage or bodies or photo IDs).
Extremists? Sounds like just your everyday Muslim!
Their ‘prophet’ was a pedophile so what would you expect from such dead souls? They serve the demons who drove their seizure-riddled, bloodlusting, pedophile prophet.
Must be a bunch of church picnic-going, Gadsen flag-wearing extremists who cling to their Bibles and guns, or so says the 400 Nappy and 100 pound Kenyan waif.
I wonder if women’s rights will have anything to say on this????
I just listened to this story reported on NPR.
The perpetrators were not described as "extremists."
They were identified as "conservatives."
So when is N.O.W. going to speak out against this disgraceful act of Patriarchy? Obviously, this is a rhetorical question.
Exactly. And they will continue to.
Those poor girls and women in those depraved countries....
