JALALABAD, Afghanistan (Reuters) - Afghan police opened fire on protesters on Wednesday killing four and wounding dozens after violent demonstrations
over a report that U.S. interrogators at Guantanamo Bay had desecrated the Koran.
Government offices were set on fire, shops looted and U.N. buildings and diplomatic missions attacked as thousands of people took to the streets
chanting "Death to America."
"Police had to open fire on the protesters, they were destroying the city," provincial police chief Hazrat Ali told Reuters. He declined to comment
on casualties.
About 1,000 school students demonstrated in nearby Laghman province. In Khost city, also in the east, protesters burned a picture of President Bush
and a U.S. flag.
You can bet many of these Paki's will be going over to Iraq to help in the Jihad against American forces there. Unfortunatley many of the
organizations are directly funded by President Bush through a $3 billion aid package granted to Pakistan in their support of routing terrorism.
