Enraged demonstrators took to the streets of Afghanistan <http://www.nydailynews.com/topics/Afghanistan> for a third day Sunday, killing two and injuring dozens of others after a fundamentalist Florida <http://www.nydailynews.com/topics/Florida> pastor burned the Koran. President Hamid Karzai <http://www.nydailynews.com/topics/Hamid+Karzai> repeated his call to the White House <http://www.nydailynews.com/topics/The+White+House> , Senate and United Nations <http://www.nydailynews.com/topics/United+Nations> to bring to justice Terry Jones <http://www.nydailynews.com/topics/Terry+Jones> , the Gainsville, Fla. pastor who organized a mock "trial" that resulted in the burning of Islam's holy book on Friday, officials said. Jones is the same inflammatory religious leader who threatened to burn a Koran last year on the anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, triggering worldwide outrage. Protests have erupted throughout Afghanistan since Jones' most recent stunt. At least 22 people in the northern city of Mazar-i-Sharif <http://www.nydailynews.com/topics/Mazar-e+Sharif> were killed in the unrest, including seven UN staff members. The UN, however, vowed that the attack - the worst in Afghanistan since the Taliban <http://www.nydailynews.com/topics/The+Taliban> were toppled in 2001 - would not derail its work in the war-torn nation. "This should not deter the UN presence, activities, in this country in this delicate and particularly crucial period," special representative Staffan de Mistura <http://www.nydailynews.com/topics/Staffan+De+Mistura> said. http://assets.nydailynews.com/img/2011/04/04/alg_afghan2.jpg Afghan protests against the burning of a Quran in Florida entered a third day with a demonstration in the major eastern city Sunday. (Gul/AP) The remaining UN foreign staff would be temporarily relocated to Kabul <http://www.nydailynews.com/topics/Kabul> , he said. Elsewhere, an officer was killed and 20 civilians were injured in an explosion that ripped through crowds of protesters in the southern city of Kandahar <http://www.nydailynews.com/topics/Kandahar> . "The protesters set ablaze a traffic police booth. Inside there was a gas bottle which exploded," interior ministry spokesman Zemarai Bashary <http://www.nydailynews.com/topics/Zemarai+Bashary> told AFP, calling it "accidental." About 500 university students also protested in the eastern city of Jalalabad <http://www.nydailynews.com/topics/Jalalabad> . They blocked a key road for several hours, shouting for U.S. <http://www.nydailynews.com/topics/United+States> troops to leave, burning an effigy of President Barack Obama <http://www.nydailynews.com/topics/Barack+Obama> and stomping on a drawing of a U.S. flag. More than 1,000 people also set tires ablaze to block another highway in eastern Parwan province <http://www.nydailynews.com/topics/Parwan+Province> for about an hour, said provincial police chief Sher Ahmad Maladani.
