At least seven foreigners killed by an angry mob that stormed the United Nations compound in northern Afghanistan Friday, as a protest over a recent Koran burning in Florida.
The crowd attacked the U.N headquarters in Mazar-i-sharif and killed guards who tried to fight them off, the Los Angeles Times reported.
The crowd gathered to denounced the actions of Terry Jones, a preacher from Florida, who burned the Islamic holy book on a grill last month, the Washington Post reported.
Witnesses told the Washington Post that the crowd contained some armed men that threw rocks, burned U.S. flags and chanted anti-U.S. slogans.
