Many School Girls in Iran Possibly Sickened by Poisoning

Sick at school. Hundreds of girls in Iran have reportedly come down with symptoms of poisoning in recent months, pulling them out of the classroom and putting them in the hospital. First we smelt gas in the classroom, then one of the students became nauseous and dizzy. As more time passed, more students became nauseous and started to leave class. Reports say 30 schools in at least four cities have been affected since November. We have assigned a special committee to investigate this matter, and this committee is comprised of the best toxicologists and university professors. Some parents have even chosen to take their kids out of school to protect them.

They reportedly believe the poisoning is coming from religious extremist groups that are opposed to girls going to school. Of course, our enemies like to cause disruptions in the country through operations, and now they are once again showing up to play with the emotions of the Iranian people and incite fear. So far, the victims have only suffered mild symptoms, and officials are hoping to put an end to the cause before someone gets seriously sick. For Inside Edition Digital, I'm Mara Montzel-Bunno.
