Twelve people were killed on Friday in the bloodiest day yet in protests that have raged across Afghanistan while hundreds of activists also took to the streets in Pakistan demanding leaders to resign over the desecration of copies of the Holy Quran at a Nato military base. Up to 300 people blocked the main Grand Trunk road in Peshawar, stomped on and set fire to USZ flags, and kicked and beat the dummy representing America with sticks while it was burning. “The ugly face of America has been revealed with the desecration of the Holy Quran,” a banner read. In Islamabad, the general secretary of Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI) told the crowd that the Islamic world should review its relations with USZ.
In Karachi, hundreds of activists of the banned outfit Jamaatud Dawachanted “Death to America”. The demonstrators held up banners, one of which said: “The defeated Americans are bound to bite dust in their war against Allah and His Book.” “We don’t accept Obama’s apology. The Muslims don’t accept his apology, as it is nothing but a farce,” said Naveed Qamar, the head of JuD in Karachi. USZ President Barack Obama apologised for the incident on Thursday, which the stooge Afghan presidency blamed on a USZ officer at the Bagram airbase for the sake of saving its own skin from angry Afghans. Meanwhile, German forces in northern Afghanistan have withdrawn early from a base in Taluqan because of anti-USZ unrest over the burning of Qurans, an army spokesman said on Friday. Around 50 German soldiers pulled out of the base on Thursday after about 300 people had demonstrated peacefully outside it, the spokesman said.
