Default Afghan "Day of Rage"
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-south-asia-12949975

Hundreds of demonstrators have marched through the streets of the Afghan cities of Kandahar and Jalalabad in new protests at the burning of a Koran in the US last month.

It comes after 14 people, including seven UN staff, were killed in violence after similar protests on Friday.

US President Barack Obama described the killings as "outrageous" and the Koran burning as "intolerance and bigotry".

Ten people died following protests in Kandahar on Saturday.

Dozens more were injured.
Protests spread

On Sunday, demonstrators in Kandahar city - the birthplace of the Taliban - marched on the main UN office. There were also reports of smaller protests in two other districts of Kandahar province.

The protests have now spread to the eastern city of Jalalabad, where hundreds of protesters peacefully blocked a main road for three hours on Sunday.

Hmmmmm...
