More than 40 police officers were poisoned in a police academy in southern Afghanistan on Monday, an official said. "The officers felt headaches and began vomiting after having breakfast in Lashkargah police academy in Helmand province," provincial government spokesman Dawood Ahmadi said. He said they were taken to a military hospital where one of the officers was in critical condition, while the others were recovering.
