Two US advisors who were shot dead in the Afghan interior ministry by an Afghan colleague had been mocking anti-American protests over the burning of the Koran, a government source said Sunday.

The description of events behind the withdrawal of all NATO government advisors came as a protester was killed and seven US soldiers were wounded in a grenade attack on their base in a sixth day of anti-American protests, police said.

"The advisors were scolding the protesters and calling them bad names," as they watched videos of demonstrations in Kabul, the source said, requesting anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue.

"They called the Koran a bad book in the presence of the guy. After all this the guy had verbal arguments with the advisors and was threatened by them. He gets angry and shoots them. Eight rounds were fired at them.

"He then sneaks out and disappears. No one knew about the incident for more than an hour because the room is soundproofed," he said, adding that CCTV cameras had been viewed in the investigation of the shooting.

Asked about this description of events in the ministry on Saturday, a spokesman for NATO's US-led International Security Assistance Force said: "The investigation is ongoing."

Government sources said police were hunting for an Afghan intelligence official suspected of killing the two Americans, while the interior ministry confirmed that "the suspect is one of the employees of the ministry and he is at large".

Local television quoted a source which named the suspect as 25-year-old Abdul Saboor, who had studied in Pakistan and joined the ministry as a driver in 2007 before being promoted.

Same line beiing fed the Italian press in Kabul:

(AGI) Kabul - The two American officers killed inside the Afghan Interior Ministry had a disagreement with the police officer after they derided the protests against the Koran burning incident, a source inside the Afghan government revealed. The source said the Americans mocked the demonstrators using foul language and insulted the Koran in the agent's presence. At that point the police officer argued with the officers who and was threatened by them, the source said. . .

"...buy a koran, soak it in pig fat and light the piece of trash on fire.">

Just keep telling or writing the facts of what those Korans were being used for - they had already been desecrated by the prisoners. Islam is not a religion per se, it is a Doctrine for Political Purposes....built on fear and guilt....how many sane people would pray collectively five times daily in such a fatuous position...just preposterous and demeaning. By the way, has any Dictator, Head of State or head of a country every apologized to the USA for burning a Church or killing Christians? Obama just surrendered again/
