| BBC's Orla Guerin: "Apologies from US officials are not cooling anger on the streets of Afghanis |
Thousands of enraged
Afghans have taken to the streets for a fourth day, after US soldiers
inadvertently set fire to copies of the Koran.
In the deadliest day of unrest so far, at least 12 people
died across the country, as mobs charged at US bases and diplomatic
missions.More than 20 people have been killed since the unrest began, including two US soldiers who died on Thursday.
President Barack Obama has apologised for the Koran-burning incident.
In a letter to his Afghan counterpart Hamid Karzai, Mr Obama said the books had been "unintentionally mishandled".
US personnel apparently put the books into a rubbish incinerator at Bagram air base, near Kabul.
