Angry afghans attacked U.S. bases after reports of Quran desecration.

There have been violent protests across?Afghanistan since it emerged on Tuesday that copies of the Quran, the Muslim holy book, used by detainees held at the Bagram military base had been burned.?

The incident has become a public relations disaster for foreign forces in Afghanistan, more than 10 years?after the U.S. invasion of the country began.


On Thursday, President Barack Obama sent a letter to Afghanistan?s President Hamid Karzai apologizing for the burning of copies of the Quran at a NATO military base, but it is uncertain whether or not that will?quell the anger.

NBC News Correspondent in Kabul, Atia Abawi, answered reader questions about the controversy?earlier today.
