Afghan girl says acid attack won't stop her lessons

KABUL, Nov 15 (Reuters) - A victim of an acid attack on schoolgirls in
Afghanistan said on Saturday she was determined to stay in school and
finish her education even if that meant risking death.

The
girl, who gave her name as just Shamsia, was the most seriously injured
of a group of girls attacked outside their school by unidentified men
in the southern city of Kandahar on Wednesday.

"I'll continue
my schooling even if they try to kill me. I won't stop going to
school," Shamsia said from her bed at Afghanistan's main military
hospital in Kabul.

Shamsia, 17, suffered damage to one of her
eyes when the men pulled off the girls' head scarves and threw acid in
their faces. She has been brought to hospital in the capital for
treatment.

There was no claim of responsibility for the attack
but it bore the hallmarks of the Taliban, who banned girls from school
during their hardline rule from 1996 to 2001.

The insurgents
have attacked and destroyed hundreds of schools across the country
since they were forced from power in 2001, after the Sept. 11 attacks
on the United States.

While some teachers and school caretakers
have been killed, most of the attacks on schools have been at night and
violence against children has been rare.

The attack on the
schoolgirls has shocked a country long used to violence. President
Hamid Karzai said the men responsible were the enemies of education.

Shamsia, much of her face covered in a yellow ointment, said she had to finish 
her lessons to help the country.

"I'll continue going to lessons. I'm studying to be able to build our country," 
she said.

Senior education official Najiba Nuristani, who was visiting Shamsia in 
hospital, was also defiant.

"These incidents, these suicide attacks, can not stop education in Afghanistan, 
especially for girls," she said.

Shamsia's doctor, Mohammad Wali, said the girl had suffered damage to
an eye but was in good condition. A medical panel would decide if she
needed to be sent to India for treatment, he said. (Writing by Robert
