Afghanis burn effigy of Obama in protest over burnt koran

<-- Afghan students burn an effigy of President Obama and chant "Death to America" in protest over a burnt koran From BBC

There have been protests in the Afghan capital, Kabul, over allegations that foreign troops in the country burnt a copy of the Koran.

Hundreds of Kabul University students led the latest protest, burning an effigy of US President Barack Obama.

The US-led Nato force has denied the claims, saying it has investigated the incident in Wardak province and found the allegations to be groundless. [...]

They say they did find evidence that a Koran had been burnt, but blamed drug addicts and said the Taliban may be spreading rumours that foreign troops were responsible to provoke anti-American unrest.
It was a druggie hooked on taliban heroin that is to blame and not NATO forces. But when has that stopped the taliban from sowing lies.
