Afghan MPs urge end to US pact

The appeal comes as fury over the blasphemous movie has spread across the world, with protesters marching on the US embassies and torching the US flags.

On Friday, thousands of protesters took to the streets in eastern Afghanistan to voice their anger over the release of the insulting film produced in the United States.

Protests still continue in Muslim and non-Muslim countries where the demonstrators call for the punishment of those behind the film.

On May 2, US President Barack Obama and Afghan President Karzai signed the deal that authorizes the presence of US troops for a period of 10 years after 2014, which was the original date agreed earlier for the departure of all foreign combat troops from Afghanistan.

On May 26, Afghanistan’s parliament approved the security pact.
