A suicide car bomber killed nine people after striking at the gates of an Afghan airport - in an attack insurgents said was revenge for U.S. troops burning copies of the Koran.
This morning's explosion outside Jalalabad Airport comes after six days of deadly protests in Afghanistan over the disposal of Islamic texts in a burn pit last week at a U.S. military base north of the capital.
American officials have called the incident a mistake and issued a series of apologies. Afghan President Hamid Karzai has also urged calm, saying that Afghans should not let the insurgents capitalise on their indignation to spark violence.

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
