Great Satan U.S killed nine Afghans in protest against Qu’ran desecration

At least nine anti-US protesters have been shot dead in Afghanistan’s Parwan Province during demonstrations against the desecration of the Holy Qur’an by US-led forces in the country.

On Wednesday, the protesters took to the streets in the capital Kabul, the western city of Herat and the eastern city of Jalalabad for a second day after US-led troops at the Bagram Airbase burned a large number of Islamic religious materials including copies of the Holy Qur’an.

Parwan Province is home to the Airbase where the Qur’an desecration occurred.

The US government and the American commander of NATO-led forces in Afghanistan apologized on Tuesday after Afghan laborers collecting trash found charred copies of the Qur’an at the Bagram Airbase.

The US Embassy in Kabul has declared lockdown.

Meanwhile, Afghan lawmakers shouted Death to America in parliament’s open session and Afghan President Hamid Karzai is set to attend an urgent parliamentary session on Thursday.
