Iran arrests 4 over assault linked to school poisonings — media

Iranian authorities arrest four people in connection with an assault on a woman outside a girls’ school that was targeted in a wave of poisoning attacks, a news agency says.

Hundreds of cases of respiratory distress have been reported in the past three months among schoolgirls in what one government official said could be an attempt to force the closure of girls’ schools in the Islamic Republic.
