Ten people have been killed in the Afghan city of Kandahar during a demonstration against the burning of a Koran in the US, officials say.
Hundreds of people took part in the protest. Gunfire was heard and cars were set on fire.
On Friday, seven UN workers were killed after a protest over the same issue in in the northern city of Mazar-e Sharif.
It was the worst attack on the UN mission in Afghanistan since the international invasion in 2001.

What I don't get is that the US officially condemned the actions of that church group, and the UN workers dying aren't even Americans -- I think a Swede died, a Romanian died, etc.
It kind of saddens me that people will kill and burn shit over something so material, as if they can't find meaning in their own lives or something. People think it's insurgents that are stoking the fire over there though. What the pastor did was also stupid too, because he's not living to Christian principles (which he is supposed to hold himself to if he's a pastor).
