‘Villagers in southern
Afghanistan have claimed that Afghan and Nato forces killed 13
demonstrators after a group of people took to the streets to protest
the alleged desecration of the Quran. Residents
in Garmsir district of Helmand province on Tuesday said that Nato-led
forces raided a house in the area on Sunday and destroyed copies of the
holy book in a local mosque.
