No students showed up at Mirwais Mena girls' school in the Taliban's spiritual birthplace the morning after it happened.

A day earlier, men on motorcycles attacked 15 girls and teachers with acid.

The men squirted the acid from water bottles onto three groups of students and teachers walking to school Wednesday, principal Mehmood Qaderi said. Some of the girls have burns only on their school uniforms but others will have scars on their faces.

One teenager still cannot open her eyes after being hit in the face with acid...

Such acts originate from the demons- they are inhuman.

You know, I sometimes wonder, if these acts do originate from the demons, if they are a way of getting back at the Virgin Mary for her Holy Decision by attacking women and girls. Just a thought.... Sad
