BEIJING (Reuters) - More than 60 children fell ill after drinking
water that may have been deliberately poisoned at a primary school in
southern China, state media reported on Tuesday.

Thirty-four were still in hospital, suffering from headaches and
nausea, and the rest were under observation at their rural school in
Guangxi province after drinking the water in their school canteen, the
official Xinhua news agency reported.

The water in the school's storage tank smelled of pesticide and police
found an empty bottle that they suspected of containing the poison,
Xinhua said.

While the investigation is continuing, local education officials have
already accused the school of mismanagement, it added.

Scandals involving substandard food or medicines are reported
regularly by Chinese media and schools have been involved before.

A primary school headmistress was jailed last year for taking
kickbacks from an unlicensed food company that indirectly led to
nearly 200 children falling ill. In a separate case last year, a
college student was arrested on suspicion of poisoning his classmates'
water.

Food and drug safety in China has grabbed global attention over the
past year after its products sparked scares abroad, from substandard
pet feed in the United States to allegedly tainted dumplings in Japan.
