Four people have been killed and 52 wounded in Afghanistan after riots following reports that interrogators at Guantanamo Bay had been desecrating the Koran.

Afghan police opened fire on protesters, as thousands took to the streets setting government offices in Jalalabad on fire and attacking UN buildings and diplomatic missions.

Shops were looted and US troops stationed in Jalalabad, a conservative Muslim city 80 miles east of Kabul, were confined to base during the protest, witnesses said.

The riots followed an article in Newsweek magazine that said investigators probing abuses at Guantanamo Bay naval base in Cuba had discovered that interrogators "had placed Korans on toilets, and in at least one case flushed a holy book down the toilet"....
