Afghan Protests Rage: Notes From Candlelight Vigils, 12/24/12

Afghans by the tens of thousands are protesting the U.S. military burning of the Korans and are enraged by the killings and severe injuries inflicted upon them since this protest began three days ago. And yesterday, two U.S. soldiers were killed.

President Obama has apologized for the Koran burning but thus far to no avail in steming the protests. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/02/24/world/asia/koran-burning-afghanistan-demonstrations.html?_r=1&nl=todaysheadlines&emc=tha22
