KABUL: The biggest anti-US protests since the fall of the Taliban spread across Afghanistan on Thursday, as unrest sparked by alleged abuse of the Quran at Guantanamo Bay left three more people dead.
Seven people have been killed and at least 76 injured during three days of violent demonstrations, all of them in clashes with security forces and police in conservative towns east of the capital Kabul.
Angry Afghans shouting “Death to America” poured onto the streets of Kabul itself for the first time on Thursday and protests at the reported religious slur have now broken out in 10 of Afghanistan’s 34 provinces.
In Kabul, student demonstrators shouted slogans calling on US President George W Bush to apologise to Islamic countries and set a US flag ablaze. The protest ended peacefully.
“It makes one laugh how ignorant US soldiers are,” student Mohammed Shasiq said.
Thousands of people also took to the streets in the northern provinces of Parwan, Kapisa and Takhar, Laghman in the east, Logar and Khost in the southeast and the southern province of Kandahar.

Have the brutal democratic morons got the message yet that they’re not wanted in Afghanistan or they still hold the view that Afghans love America’s man-made ideology of democracy which has given them nothing but pure death and destruction?
