In central China eight teenagers have been stabbed to death in a high school dormitory. Four other children have been injured, two of them seriously. The attacker is still at large. A spokesperson for the city of Ruzhou in the Henan province says the victims were all sleeping on the lower bunk of bunk beds. In the past months, similar attacks have occurred at other schools in China. In October, a 5-year-old and a teacher were killed by a burglar, and the body of the child was then hidden in a washing machine. And in September, 25 children were stabbed at a kindergarten in eastern China. **PHOTO CAPTION*** Police investigators inspect the site of a murder case in Ruzhou No.2 High School in Ruzhou, a city in central China's Henan Province, Friday, Nov. 26, 2004.
