Attackers in Afghanistan have sprayed acid in the faces of at least 15 girls near a school in Kandahar, police say.

Doctors say that the six girls were wearing Islamic burkas or veils which provided them with some protection.

Correspondents say the attack is likely to have been carried out by those opposed to the education of women.

"I want to ask the government that why they cannot protect us, we girls want to study but the the government is not helping us. We want better security."

"I don't know why they did it," she said. "Kandahar is not safe. But we can't stay home, we want an education."
