In Afghanistan, more than 1,000 people gathered for a protest Wednesday against a foreign troop raid in Kandahar. Residents say two Islamic clerics were killed overnight.

Protester Habib Khan: “We have gathered here against foreign troops which search our houses during the night and harm our females. For instance, last night they took away two of our villagers from their homes and killed them without any charges. They (the foreign troops) also took eight other villagers, and their destinies are unclear. We don’t know where they are.”
