Anti-US Protests Spread to Pakistan
The Associated Press
Friday 13 May 2005
Islamabad - Pakistan Pakistan's Islamic groups will hold anti-America rallies across the country later Friday to protest the alleged desecration of Islam's holy book, the Quran, at the U.S. prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, a spokesman said.
The demonstrations come two days after thousands of students angered by the reported abuse set fire to shops, offices of aid workers and Pakistan's consulate in the Afghan city of Jalalabad. Seven people were killed in two days of rioting starting Wednesday.
The trouble began after Newsweek magazine reported in its May 9 edition that interrogators at the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay, placed Qurans in washrooms to unsettle suspects, and in one case "flushed a holy book down the toilet."
Many of those held prisoner at Guantanamo Bay are Muslims who have been arrested during the U.S.-led war against terror in Afghanistan.
Pakistan is a conservative Muslim nation where insults to the Quran and Islam's prophet Muhammad are regarded as blasphemy and punishable by death.
On Friday, Ameer ul-Azeem, spokesman for Pakistan's six-party coalition, Mutahida Majlis-e-Amal (MMA) said the protests - to be held in cities nationwide - would not turn violent.
"We have no intention to disrupt law and order. We want to stage peaceful rallies to condemn what happened in Guantanamo Bay," he said.
Nonetheless, the Interior Ministry issued instruction to police and other security personnel to ensure peace during the rallies, ministry officials said. Police have been posted outside major mosques.
Ul-Azeem said he has asked Washington to tender an "unconditional apology" over the reported incidents at Guantanamo Bay and "take stern action against those who desecrated the Quran."
In Washington on Thursday, U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said disrespect for the Quran would never be tolerated in the United States and that military authorities were investigating the allegations.
"Respect for religious freedom for all individuals is one of the founding principles of the United States," Rice said.
Pakistan, a key ally of U.S. in the war on terror, has said it was "deeply dismayed over the alleged abuse of Quran. The United States is holding about 520 terror suspects at Guantanamo Bay, many of whom were captured in Pakistan and Afghanistan, and later turned over to U.S. officials.

Worst anti-US protests spread across Afghanistan, three more dead
Friday May 13, 4:25 AM
The biggest anti-US protests since the fall of the Taliban spread across Afghanistan, as unrest sparked by alleged abuse of the Koran at the US jail in Guantanamo Bay left three more people dead.
Seven people have been killed and at least 76 injured during three days of violent demonstrations, all of them in clashes with security forces and police in conservative towns east of the capital Kabul.
Angry Afghans shouting "Death to America" poured onto the streets of Kabul itself for the first time Thursday as protests at the reported religious desecration also broke out in 10 of Afghanistan's 34 provinces.
The Koran controversy has also spread to Pakistan, where demonstrations were held in Peshawar and Quetta, two major cities close to the border with Afghanistan.
Two protesters were killed on Thursday when gunfire erupted as police stopped them marching into the eastern Afghan city of Jalalabad from a district just to the northwest, deputy governor of Nangarhar province Mohammad Asif Qazizada told AFP.
Jalalabad was the scene of a major riot on Wednesday in which four people died when police opened fire to control a mob that torched the buildings of several aid agencies, the Pakistani consulate and the governor's house.
Meanwhile one person died and four were wounded when rioters attacked a police station in the Chak district of Wardak province, which borders Kabul, and a weapons store exploded, interior ministry spokesman Lutfullah Mashal said.
The protests were sparked by a small report in Newsweek magazine last week that interrogators at the US military detention center in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, desecrated copies of the Koran by leaving them in toilet cubicles and even stuffing one down a lavatory to rattle Muslim prisoners.
More than 500 detainees, most captured in Afghanistan or Pakistan following the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States, are held as "enemy combatants" at Guantanamo.
The US, which leads a coalition of some 18,000 troops hunting Taliban militants three years after the regime was toppled, has promised to look into the claims. The US military has not been involved in policing the protests.
US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on Thursday called disrespect for the holy book "abhorrent" and promised to punish offenders.
But the top US military officer said a review of interrogation logs has so far found no evidence to corroborate the explosive allegations.
"... they cannot confirm yet that there was ever the case of the toilet incident except in one case, a log entry that they still have to confirm, where a detainee was reported by a guard to be ripping pages out of a Koran and putting them in a toilet to stop it up as a protest," said General Richard Myers, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
In Kabul, student demonstrators shouted slogans calling on US President George W. Bush to apologise to Islamic countries and set a US flag ablaze. The protest ended peacefully.
Thousands of people also took to the streets in the northern provinces of Parwan, Kapisa and Takhar, Laghman in the east, Logar and Khost in the southeast and the southern province of Kandahar.
The United Nations and foreign aid agencies evacuated hundreds of workers from Jalalabad fearing further violence.
Afghan officials have suggested that elements opposed to the US-backed effort to rebuild the war-ravaged country have coordinated the violence, and protests come amid a recent deterioration in security.
Veteran Afghan analyst Rahimullah Yusufzai said the protests gave the public a chance to vent their anger at President Hamid Karzai's government and the United States itself, but were unlikely to be coordinated.
"This is the biggest protest campaign in Afghanistan since the ouster of Taliban regime," the Pakistan-based analyst said.
Previous anti-US protests in Afghanistan were sparked by the deaths of civilians in US military operations and by the Iraq war but none have been so large.
Karzai, who is currently in Brussels, said Wednesday that the clash in Jalalabad showed the "inability" of Afghanistan's institutions to deal with such situations.
