NATO Troops Kill At Least Eight Afghan Protesters

Written by Web Master Thursday, 14 January 2010 18:18

Locals say troops of the US-led alliance have killed at least eight Afghan civilians at a demonstration organized to protest against the alliance forces' desecration of the Holy Quran. The mortalities were caused by fire from the alliance forces during the demonstration, which about 2,000 people attended, in the southern province of Helmand, locals said on Tuesday, the German news agency DPA reported. Residents said the troops had stormed a house and destroyed copies of the Muslim holy book in a local mosque in the province's Garmsir district on Sunday.

"We have proof that they destroyed our Holy Quran. We can show it to [President Hamid] Karzai's government or the foreign forces," said resident Habibullah Jan.

"The people came out of their homes today [Tuesday] to protest this action of foreign forces in a peaceful way, but the Afghan and international forces opened fire on us and killed eight people," Haji Abdul Manan, one of the organizers of the demonstration, was quoted as saying by DPA.

And over 20 people were injured, he added.

"In this demonstration, 13 people died and 25 were wounded. The situation is very bad and the protest is still going on. People are very angry with foreigners because they have desecrated our Holy Quran. Also, they fired on demonstrators. I repeat that many people died and were wounded during the protest," Reuters quoted Haji Jan Gul, who brought some of the wounded to the hospital, as saying.
....
In response to a similar act of desecration in Wardak province in October, angry rallies were held.

Afghanistan is currently grappling with the highest level of violence in the over eight years of US-led military operations.

Thousands of civilians have been killed during exchanges of fire between the alliance forces and the Taliban and also in miscalculated attacks by alliance troops targeting alleged militant hideouts. - Press TV -

However, apparently this video was taken a few years ago in Russia. Hence the source is unknown and the location too but it is a very real video, not a graphic picture.
