We have added a new set of pictures from the event "Afghanistan Koran Burning Protest".

An Afghan shows a copy of the holy Koran that was allegedly burnt by US soldiers during a protest in Bagram, about 60 kilometres (40 miles) north of Kabul, Afghanistan, 21 February 2012. Thousands of Afghans took to the street in a Bagram to protest the 'burning of the Koran' by NATO-led troops, officials said on 21 February. 'Protest is ongoing right now in front of Bagram airport gate and nearly 3,000 people are protesting right now,' Roshana Khalid, a spokeswoman for Parwan provincial government said.
