Afghanistan

Nine Afghans were killed during riots over the burning of Korans at a US base earlier this week; four were killed while attempting to storm the US consulate in Herat. Afghan forces killed 15 Taliban fighters in Laghman province. The NDS captured several men belonging to three Haqqani Network cells that were plotting attacks in Kabul.
