Time for headlines of turbulence...

Hundreds of Afghans threw stones, shouted "death to America" and torched tyres, pouring onto streets today for a second day of angry protests against NATO troops for burning copies of the holy Koran. 

About 500 protesters threw stones at a US military base in Kabul, while in the eastern city of Jalalabad more than 1,000 demonstrators blocked the highway shouting "Death to Americans, Death to Obama", AFP journalists said. 

Afghanistan is a deeply religious country where slights against Islam have frequently provoked violent protests and Afghans were incensed that any Western troops could be so insensitive, 10 years after the 2001 US-led invasion.
