Anti-US Protests in Afghanistan Turn Deadly 11.05.2005 Anti-US demonstrations in the Afghani city of Jalalabad that began yesterday have resulted in the deaths of four people today during intervention by security forces. Hospital records confirm that four people were killed and that 54 others were wounded in today's incidents. Two other individuals were killed during the demonstrations yesterday when local police and US forces opened fire to control the crowd. The protesters, most of whom are university students, have stepped up their activities and went so far as to set fire to a building in the eastern part of the city and plunder stores. United Nations (UN) buildings are now faced with the danger of potential attacks. Protestors are reacting to reports that interrogation officers at America's Guantanamo Bay base insulted the Quran. << | >> |
