Koran, Afghan Koran Burning Protest | featured news

The U.S. military said on Monday it was disciplining U.S. troops over two incidents that provoked outrage in Afghanistan early this year, one involving a video depicting Marines urinating on corpses and another over burned copies of the Koran.

A "rogue" Afghan border policeman shot dead two foreign soldiers on a training mission on Monday, and hundreds of people turned out on the streets for a fourth day of protests against the burning of a Koran by a fundamentalist U.S. pastor.

At least two people were killed and four injured in Afghanistan Sunday in protests against the pastor who had planned to burn the Quran in Florida, a local official said.
