Fresh protests in Kabul over Koran burning

KABUL (AFP) – Fresh protests erupted in the Afghan capital Kabul on Tuesday 5th April over the burning of a Koran by a US pastor, taking angry and violent demonstrations into a fifth day, an AFP photographer said.

Several hundred people gathered at Kabul University chanting "death to America" and "we want the burner of the Koran to be tried" in the wake of previous protests which have left 24 people dead, including seven UN staff.
