MAZAR-I-SHARIF, Afghanistan — At least eight foreign UN workers were killed, two of them beheaded, on Friday in the northern Afghan city of Mazar-i-Sharif after a demonstration against the burning of Korans by a U.S. preacher, a regional police spokesman said.
"Eight foreigners were killed and two were beheaded," said Lal Mohammad Ahmadzai, a police spokesman for the northern region.

The muslims are just beyond rage as soon as you talk or whatever say anything about their holy Koran. But can any Muslim give me 1 good reason why these innocent UN employees had to die just because there was a rumour about burning a Koran by 1 reverent in the US.

Why do you wonder what their motivation was, it clearly says in the second sentence of the article you posted, retaliation for the Koran burning preacher.
I wonder how the Afghans became aware of his March Koran burning, I live in the states and didn't hear anything about it until I read the article about their killing spree.

He didn't do it. After an hours long visit from local FBI officials he cancelled the event. (unless I am mistaken)
But they don't know that, do they?
At any rate, it's just an excuse to behave barbarically. As if those people they killed had anything at all to do with it.
Passionate hatred is the worst kind of opiate.....

NO, slow child, I KNOW that the people who planned and carried out 9-11 were Saudi Arabian. One of the few nations in the middle east we are NOT attacking.
