KABUL, Afghanistan — At least 12 people were killed in Afghanistan Friday, two by beheading after extremists stormed their compound in northern Afghanistan yesterday.
Most of those killed were foreigners; namely Norwegian, Romanian, Swedish and Nepalese nationals.
The Afghans extremist enraged by a Florida pastor’s burning of a Koran, according to Afghan officials.

• Thousands of protesters mobilized after a midday sermon, then surged toward the offices of the United Nations in Mazar-e Sharif, northern Afghanistan’s largest city and normally a bastion of calm.
• Some in the crowd broke into the U.N. office and attacked the staff, killing security guards and members of the U.N. mission, officials said.
• President Obama condemned the killings “in the strongest possible terms” and urged calm and dialogue. U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki Moon called the attacks “an outrageous and cowardly act...which cannot be justified under any circumstances.”

The shocking killings in Afghanistan were triggered by anger at the burning earlier this month of a copy of the Koran at a church in Florida. The controversial ceremony was carried out by pastor Wayne Sapp and preacher Terry Jones.
Mr Jones first came to worldwide attention when he started a Facebook campaign calling for people around the world to set fire to copies of the Koran on last year's ninth anniversary of 9/11. He dubbed it International Burn a Koran Day.

• It was only after the intervention of President Obama and Defense Secretary Robert Gates that he went back on his vow to burn the Koran.
• He said later that he planned to burn 'a few hundred Korans' in a bonfire on church property and that he was expecting a crowd of 'several hundred' but believed others would burn the books on their own.

On March 21 this year, he finally carried out his threat. A copy of the Koran was burned in front of a crowd of 30 people outside his church. Beforehand, he held a bizarre mock trial and execution of the Holy Book before fellow pastor Wayne Sapp doused it in gasoline and set fire to it.
