Protests Force Netherlands to Stop Afghanistan Mission Temporarily

The Dutch training mission in Kunduz in Afghanistan has been temporarily halted due to the violent protests over the burning of Korans in Afghanistan. So far, 30 people have been killed as a result of the protests, including 4 NATO military personnel. The Dutch trainers are located at a base near Kunduz which is about 4 kilometers from the center of the town where riots took place.
