At least 13 girls have fallen ill after a suspected poisonous gas attack at a school in northern Afghanistan.

The government has accused fighters opposed to female education of being behind the attack.

Sunday's incident - the third in Kunduz province - brings to 80 the number of school girls reporting symptoms such as headaches, vomiting and shivering after suspected poisoning.

On Saturday, 47 girls from a different school had reported feeling dizzy and nauseous, while on Wednesday 23 girls said they felt unwell under similar circumstances.

But a Taliban spokesman denied the group had any involvement in the attack, and condemned the targeting of school girls.

In parts of southern and eastern Afghanistan, particularly in Taliban strongholds, schools for girls still remain closed.
