DTN News - AFGHAN WAR NEWS: Koran Burning In NATO Error Incites Afghans
(NSI News Source Info) TORONTO, Canada / BAGRAM, Afghanistan - February 22, 2012: A US soldier wields his assault rifle (L) as another soldier handles a shotgun while standing at the gate of Bagram airbase during a protest against Koran desecration at Bagram, about 60 kilometres (40 miles) north of Kabul, on February 21, 2012.
Afghan protestors firing slingshots and petrol bombs besieged one of the largest US-run military bases in Afghanistan, furious over reports that NATO had set fire to copies of the Koran. Guards at Bagram airbase responded by firing rubber bullets from a watchtower, an AFP photographer said as the crowd shouted 'Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar' (God is greater). Photo - Getty
