Karzai plans administrative shake-up after protests
KABUL: President Hamid Karzai is planning an administrative shake-up after violent Afghan protests over the alleged desecration of the Quran at Guantanamo Bay left 14 dead and 120 injured, officials said Saturday. They said Karzai, who returned home from Brussels early Saturday, was likely to replace the governor and police chief of eastern Nangarhar province where the bloody rioting started on Wednesday. Officials told AFP Karzai held immediate consultations with officials on the security situation which has seen the worst anti-US violence since the fall of the Taliban more than three years ago. "I know both the governor, Din Mohammad and the police chief Hazrat Ali will be replaced in Nangarhar," the interior ministry official said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
