アフガニスタン：米国への抗議デモで４人死亡、５０人負傷
【イスラマバード西尾英之】アフガニスタン東部の都市ジャララバードで１１日、米国に対する抗議デモに米軍と警官隊が発砲。ＡＦＰ通信によるとデモ参加者４人が死亡し約５０人が負傷した。
デモは、米軍がキューバのグアンタナモ基地で、収容者に対する嫌がらせとしてイスラム教のコーランをトイレに置き、一部を便器に流したとの米誌「ニューズウィーク」の報道をきっかけに起きた。参加者数千人は同基地の全収容者釈放や米軍のアフガンからの撤退などを求め、ブッシュ米大統領のわら人形を燃やすなどして一部が暴徒化して政府や援助機関などの建物を襲撃。警官や警備の米兵が発砲したという。

「コーラン冒とくの形跡見つからず」

ワシントン（ＣＮＮ） アフガニスタン旧政権タリバーンのメンバーらが拘束されているキューバのグアンタナモ米軍基地で、米軍兵士がイスラム教聖典コーランを冒とくしたと報じられ、アフガンなどで反米デモが起きている問題で、マイヤーズ米統合参謀本部議長は１２日、調査の結果、冒とく行為の形跡は見つからなかったと述べた。
マイヤーズ議長によると、調査は同基地を管轄する南方軍司令部が実施している。拘束者への尋問の記録などを見直したが、伝えられたような事例は今のところ確認されていないという。
米誌ニューズウィークには、グアンタナモ基地でコーランがトイレに置かれ、一部は水洗で流されたなどとする記事が掲載された。しかしマイヤーズ議長によれば、コーランをめぐる事例として唯一記録されているのは、拘束者が抗議行動の中でコーランのページを破り、トイレを封鎖しようとしたとの未確認情報だという。
ニューズウィークの報道を受け、アフガン東部ジャララバードや首都カブールでは大規模なデモが起きている。ライス米国務長官は同日、上院歳出委員会でこの問題を取り上げ、「すべての宗教の聖典は大切に扱うべき。冒とくが事実とすればしかるべき措置を取る」と述べている。

Protests Against U.S. Spread Across Afghanistan
By CARLOTTA GALL
KABUL, Afghanistan, May 12 - Anti-American violence spread to 10 of Afghanistan's 34 provinces and into Pakistan on Thursday as four more protesters died in a third day of demonstrations and clashes with the police.
Hundreds of students took part in three separate demonstrations here in the capital, where they burned an American flag, and a provincial office of CARE International was ransacked in a continuation of the most widespread protests against the American presence since the fall of the Taliban government more than three years ago.
In the most violent single incident, the police fired on hundreds of tribesmen from Khogiani, a district in eastern Afghanistan, who were trying to march in protest on Jalalabad, the town where four people died and 60 were wounded on Wednesday.
The police blocked the tribesmen, many of whom were armed, 20 miles from the city and had orders to fire into the air to disperse the crowd, said Fazel Muhammad Ibrahimi, the director of health in the province.
The Afghan authorities and Kabul residents said the spate of violence was the fault of outsiders, who they said were seeking to capitalize on student protests stirred up by reports, most recently in the May 9 issue of Newsweek, that Americans had desecrated the Koran during interrogations at Guant?amo Bay, Cuba.
Islamic fundamentalist political parties, remnants of the former Taliban government and a renegade anti-American commander, Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, are all possible sources of the violence, said Lutfullah Mashal, a spokesman for the Interior Ministry.
The American military is still trying to analyze whether the violence is politically driven, instigated by outsiders or a sign of general public frustration with the slow pace of reconstruction in the country, said a spokesman, Col. James Yonts. Students interviewed in Kabul pointed to the presence of American troops in the country as another source of resentment.
Local governors might also be encouraging protests against the central government and its American backers to improve their own standing before parliamentary elections in September, said Jandad Spinghar, head of the Afghan Independent Human Rights Commission in Jalalabad.
Seeking to calm the passions raised by the desecration report, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice expressed regret for the loss of life and promised a full investigation of the allegation against Americans at Guant?amo. "Disrespect for the Holy Koran is not now, nor has it ever been, nor will it ever be tolerated by the United States," Ms. Rice said in a surprise statement issued before an appearance at the Senate Appropriations Committee.
Protests erupted throughout the country on Thursday, spreading south from the capital region.
In the town of Chak in Wardak Province, south of Kabul, a high school student was killed and five were wounded when the police opened fire on demonstrators who marched on the provincial capital, said the provincial police chief, Basir Salangi.
"The people claim the police did it, and the police say it was the demonstrators," he said, reflecting the confusion over many of the clashes that broke out. The protesters set fire to the administration building, in anger at the shooting by the police, the official Afghan news agency, Bakhtar, reported, quoting one of the student demonstrators.
In Logar, another province south of Kabul, protesters toppled a mobile telephone tower and destroyed equipment at its base overnight, local officials said. High school students then gathered at their school in the town of Muhammad Agha at 7:30 a.m. Thursday to protest the report from Guant?amo. Protesters broke the windows of a new foreign-financed district administration office that was opened just last Saturday by President Hamid Karzai.
The rioters then attacked the offices of CARE International, the American aid group, and of another aid organization next door, scaling the walls, breaking windows and smashing computers and beating some of the local staff. The crowd returned three times to the compound during the day, Paul Barker, the country director of CARE, said.
The high school students did not instigate the violence, Mr. Barker said. "They were the majority," he said, "but our staff feels someone else was the instigation." He cited the demolition of the telephone tower and a roadside explosion that wounded a policeman as proof that the violent acts required more sophistication than could be expected from teenagers.
A prominent local political figure was killed in Ghazni Province, south of Kabul, in an attack that the governor, Asadullah Khan, attributed to Taliban insurgents. Two of the attackers were killed and seven arrested, the Bakhtar news agency reported.
Three people were killed and two injured by another roadside bomb, further south in Zabul Province, on Wednesday, said an official in the governor's office, who added that Taliban insurgents were suspected there as well.
Hundreds of students from Kabul University and Kabul Polytechnic demonstrated in the capital, Kabul, but with a heavy police presence, their protest remained peaceful. They blocked traffic for an hour outside the university as they chanted anti-American slogans and burned an American flag.
Some of the students demanded that the United States interrogators, who are alleged to have placed copies of the Koran in a toilet to upset detainees and in one case to have flushed the holy book down the toilet, be arrested and tried by a Muslim court. Desecration of the Koran is punishable by death in Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Others said they wanted President Bush to make a formal apology to all Muslims for the sacrilege. Protesters also complained about the continued presence of United States troops in Afghanistan. "The students are calling in one voice: we don't want American bases in Afghanistan," said a medical student, Layek Zakim.
"Those Americans who come to our country and killed students should be arrested and executed," he said, apparently referring to the death of four protesters in Jalalabad on Wednesday, the day after the protest there began. American troops were in the town during the unrest and were blocked from entering their base by an angry crowd.
The soldiers fired into the air to break up the crowd, as did the Afghan police, Colonel Yonts said, but he denied that the soldiers had harmed any of the protesters.
Demonstrations were reported in nine or 10 Afghan towns, including several in northern part of the country, and in the northwest Pakistani city of Peshawar. More protests were announced for Friday and Saturday.
