New protests over Koran burning
Thousands staged new demonstrations today over the burning of Korans at a US military base in Afghanistan, evidence that President Barack Obama’s apology has failed to quiet the outrage over the incident.
About 4,000 protesters marched toward the governor’s compound in Khost, the capital of Khost province, police said. In the eastern part of Nangarhar province, several thousand shouted “Death to America” and burned a cardboard picture of Mr Obama.
