Nato commander 'not surprised' at Koran protests
The top Nato commander in Afghanistan says he was "not surprised in the least" at the days of protests in Afghanistan in reaction to the burning of Korans on a US military base.
General John Allen told the BBC it was important to remember that "thousands and thousands of ISAF forces have... shown a reverence for the faith of Islam."
US ambassador to Afghanistan Ryan Crocker said the mission in Afghanistan had made "tremendous progress".
