Kabul: Afghan President Hamid Karzai on Sunday renewed his calls for calm to the nation after the burning of Quran at a US base.
Karzai speaking in a live television broadcast said, “Now is the time to return to calm and not let our enemies use this situation.”
He reminded the Afghan people that the Quran burnings were being investigated and asked them to wait for the results of that investigation.
President Barack Obama and other U.S. officials have apologized for what they said was a mistake, but their regrets have not quelled the deadly protests.
About 30 people have been killed including four U.S. soldiers since the incident came to light Tuesday.
