A 15-year-old French schoolboy sprayed a teacher with tear gas after she described Al-Qaeda as a "terrorist group", she told AFP on Tuesday as prosecutors began an investigation.

"I had just explained that the attacks on September 11, 2001 were carried out by the terrorist organization Al-Qaeda, as is written in the text book," said the history teacher, speaking on condition of anonymity.

"He stood up and declared that Al-Qaeda is not terrorist and that neither is the Taliban," she said, adding that the boy had then pulled out a spray can and doused her and a teaching assistant with tear gas.

Neither victim was seriously hurt.

Both staff members, who work in the small school in the central French village of Largentiere, made a criminal complaint against the boy, state prosecutors confirmed.

A youth court will be convened in the nearby town of Privas on March 16 to hear the case.
