Several hundreds of students demonstrated Thursday morning on the street in Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan, protesting against the reported desecration of US interrogators to the Quran.

Shouting "Death to America," "Death to Bush," "Long life Islam," students paraded along the main streets of the city, where many government forces have been deployed to prevent possible riots.

The university students, angered by a report in Newsweek magazine that US interrogators at the Guantanamo Bay detention center in Cuba had desecrated the Quran to intimidate prisoners, started demonstrations in eastern city of Jalalabad on Tuesday.

The anti-US protests spread in Afghan cities on Wednesday, in which four protesters were killed and more than 70 were injured in Jalalabad in riot during which the US troops and Afghan police opened fire.
