Seven American special forces in Afghanistan on Sunday were injured by an explosion of a grenade thrown by a participant in a demonstration against the burning of the Koran. According to ITAR-TASS, this incident occurred in the northern Afghan province of Kunduz, in the city of Imam-Sahib.

Approximately two hundred demonstrators tried to get through the city, but were stopped by Afghan security forces. One of the protesters threw a grenade in the direction of the American base. Currently, five Afghans suspected in this case have been arrested.

As a result, the death toll in the course of the seventh day of the protests against the burning of the Koran has already reached thirty people. About two hundred injured.

Trying to disperse the crowd, the guards opened fire to kill. Five people were killed, 66 was injured, including eleven police officers.

Recall that the cause of the riots was the actions of the US military, on the Bagram base near Kabul, several copies of the Koran were thrown into the fire with garbage.

Now the whole East will rise, Muslims will not give peace to Amers, every day a load of 200 will fly to the States. Democrats jumped!

What happened was something that shouldn't have been predicted... If there was no burning of the Koran, then it should have been invented... The entire East will not rise up, but the ground under the feet of the US in Afghanistan will burn... I think that the delivery of goods will also become problematic... Now everyone who feels like it will start burning the columns... They've hit the nail on the head...

With "secret correspondence" on the pages of the Koran, the Yankees were divorced as Lokhov. Instead of conducting a screaming campaign in the media and distributing relevant leaflets in Afghanistan, Iraq - that the detained suspects are desecrating, they are desecrating the sacred pages for all Muslims. Thus, driving in, albeit tiny, but a wedge between the spirits and the rest of society. The "straightforwardness" is inescapable.

I hope everyone has noticed the news from Euronews "troops opened fire on demonstrators"! And where are all these groans and screams about the protection of the Afghan people ?! Continuous double standards of the West, and how does the Afghan army compare favorably with the Syrian against this background? :)

Amers do not care how many local Aborigines are capitalized; their task is to be present in this region. Just once again complicate their work.

The commander of the Iranian Basij militia, Brigadier General Mohammad Reza Naqdi, commented on the burning of the Koran by US troops at the Bagram airbase in Afghanistan. In particular, he said that verbal regrets were not enough here, and called on Muslims to demand effective apologies from Americans.

So, according to him, such an offense can be blotted out only by burning the White House and hanging everyone who was involved in an abusive act, Nakdi said last Saturday, Al Arabiya TV channel reported on Monday.

The general noted that the Americans made many mistakes in Afghanistan and continue to make them, simply apologizing each time. According to the general, "this is simply unacceptable."

"Nothing, except the burning of the White House, can ease the wounds inflicted on us, Muslims, as a result of the burning of the Koran," - quotes the statement of the Iranian military leader NEWSru Israel. "Their (US) apologies can only be accepted after their commanders have been hanged. When they are hanged, it will mean an apology," he added.

In turn, the Tehran imam Ahmad Khatami suggested that "the burning of the Korans was not a mistake," as the Americans say, but "a deliberate act aimed at insulting Muslims, since the Washington regime is hostile to Islam."

We are people and we should not rejoice in deaths, whether it be an American or a local population. People, troops sent politics. It is worth considering to the NATO governments what and why they are doing in Afghanistan. Events show the true state of affairs in the country. Remember the first year NATO was in Afghanistan, the loud exclamations of the world media - put things in order, defeated the Taliban, only loud victories. Look, we all quickly decided here, and the USSR got stuck for a long time. Yes, and at what cost. Here a little time has passed. The United States is tied to the ears, deaths (if you count, and not give statistics) no less.

Most likely, one of the special services is behind this incident. For some reason I think so. Because it was clear to anyone who was little bit sensible in reasoning what would follow the burning of the Koran. This is a deliberate provocation. So you need to find out. Why was this done? Who has any assumptions about this?
