• New York TimesWord that NATO personnel had burned an undisclosed number of Korans and
were preparing to dispose of many more by incineration set off an angry

profusely, trying to head off what they feared could be a nationwide
outburst of violence as news of the burning was gradually broadcast
across the country.
