Current Events - Taliban poison attack

  1. What's being discussed in this article?
    The all girls Totia high school in Afganistan was evacuated due to an apparent poison gas attack. It is believed this attack was initiated by "the enemies of women's education".
  2. When did the event happen? (Is this breaking news or something that's been analyzed and discussed for a while?)
    This specific attack occurred on August 25th, 2010 at 10:30 A.M., but it has been said that there have been five similar cases dealt with in Kabul this year and eleven more around the country.
  3. What questions do you have that would help make this article make more sense to you? What more do you need to learn about to be able to report on this event?
    Since I read Three Cups of Tea, I understand more the building of the girls schools and how precious they are to the community, but I would like to know more about the people who are against women's education. Why are they against it? What do they believe they are accomplishing by hurting these schools?
