In Afghanistan, at least two protesters died and four were injured Sunday as Afghans protested against a plan by an American pastor to burn copies of the Quran, despite his decision to call off the action. The deaths occurred when Afghan soldiers opened fire on hundreds of protesters who were trying to storm the local government headquarters. Terry Jones, a pastor of a small Florida church, had threatened to burn copies of the Quran on the anniversary of the September 11 attacks, but he reversed his decision after coming under pressure from Defense Secretary Robert Gates and others.
