Well, this is embarrassing. A US commander of NATO troops in Afghanistan has apologised after copies of the Koran (and other religious Islamic materials) were sent to be burned in a rubbish tip. The books were found by Afghan Muslims working on the dump. They told friends and this resulted in about 2 000 people rocking up at the US base to assault it with fire bombs and stones.
Images of the charred remains have also been doing the rounds on the internet.
Here is the apology that NATO posted online, made by General John R. Allen:
