Things are heating up in Afghanistan as U.S. Kabul embassy is torched. “Witnesses in Kabul said that thousands of angry Afghans denouncing any attack over the Taliban’s failure to hand over Saudi-born Muslim militant Osama bin Laden (news – web sites) had sacked and set fire to U.S. embassy, which was abandoned in 1989.
“Death to Bush,” the protesters, mostly government officials and students, shouted. “We will support Islam and bin Laden.” The protesters burned an effigy of Bush, ripped apart a U.S. flag and hurled stones at the gates and offices of the embassy before setting it alight.”
