In a fresh wave of attacks it was reported 39 students in Shandarman Masal, 30 students in Qochan, and 16 students and a teacher in Neishabur were poisoned. The number of poisoned students in Khuzestan province increased to more than 1,100, and a group of students from a girls’ dormitory in Mashhad also went to hospital after being poisoned.
