Violence Continues After Accidental Quran Burning

Two Afghani men, one dressed as a soldier and the other as a civilian, shot and killed two American soldiers earlier today at a joint base in the Southern part of the country. The two men are reported to be an Afghani soldier and a literacy teacher; both of whom are the latest indication of growing anti-Americanism after the Quran Burning incident last week. Over the past two weeks this now brings the American death toll to six, while Afganhi casualties are said to be a little over thirty. It is now obvious that the American apology issued has not smoothed over the relations, and this has now raised numerous questions about the training of Afghani Security Forces as foreign forces look ahead to their 2014 departure date.
