Plan to burn Koran 'disgraceful', says Clinton

The US government turned up the pressure on the head of a small church who plans to burn copies of the Koran on September 11, warning him that doing so could endanger US troops and Americans everywhere.

But the Reverend Terry Jones insisted he would go ahead with his plans, despite criticism from the top US general in Afghanistan, the White House and the State Department, as well as a host of religious leaders.
