Demonstrations In Kabul In Reaction To Rumor Over Desecration of Quran

The London Telegraph reports that in Afghanistan's capital of Kabul yesterday, hundreds of demonstrators burned President Obama in effigy in reaction to rumors that U.S. troops had burned a copy of the Quran last week during a raid in Wardak province. One banner displayed by the demonstrators read: "No to Democracy. We just want Islam."A spokesperson for coalition forces said that an investigation showed that the reports were false, and were propaganda being circulated by the Taliban.
