BBC NEWS | South Asia | Anti-US protests spread to Kabul
According to the BBC, college students "chanted "Death to America!" and carried banners stating "Those who insult the Koran should be brought to justice.""
Lest you think that college students are necessarily out of touch with the population, "Similar protests took place in other parts of the country. In the town of Mohammed Agha, 40 kms south of Kabul, protesters ransacked government offices and the compounds of two Western aid agencies. A mobile phone mast was toppled.
"The BBC's Andrew North in Kabul says that the authorities are concerned that the demonstrations are being orchestrated.
"Our correspondent says that what may be significant is that so far all they have all happened in the east or south.
"This is where US forces are concentrated in their battle against the Taleban and other militants."
Way to win those hearts and minds, W! :-(
