Iran denies school poisonings, accuses foreign enemies.

Iran's intelligence ministry has blamed foreign "enemies" and dissidents for fomenting fears over suspected poisonings of schoolgirls, saying its investigation found no actual poisoning. The ministry report accused unnamed dissidents of provoking fears to produce propaganda videos and warned of "prosecution of individuals, groups, media who accused the government ... and aligned themselves with enemies". The suspected poisonings began in November in the holy Shi'ite Muslim city of Qom and spread to 28 of Iran's 31 provinces, according to activist HRANA news agency, prompting some parents to take children out of school and protest.
