Afghan officials say they are hunting for an Afghan official suspected of killing two American military advisers. Their bodies were found in an office in the Afghan Interior Ministry in Kabul. Officials say a 25-year-old intelligence agent, Abdul Saboor, shot the Americans. Demonstrations continue in Afgｈanistan to protest the destruction of several copies of the Islamic holy book, Quran, by NATO troops. More than 20 people have died in the demonstrations. The troops burned the books at Bagram Air Base on Tuesday. President Obama and other American officials have apologized for the action. Afghan president Hamid Karzai called for calm on Sunday as protests continued.

アフガン当局は2人のアメリカ人の軍顧問を殺害した容疑でアフガン職員の行方を追っていると発表した。アメリカ人の遺体はカブールのアフガン内務省の事務室内で発見された。当局によると、25歳の諜報機関職員、アブドゥル・サボアがアメリカ人を殺害したとのことである。アフガニスタンではNATO軍によるイスラム教聖典、コーランの破壊に抗議するデモが続いている。20人以上の人がデモで死亡している。NATO軍は火曜日、バグラム空軍基地で聖典を焼いた。オバマ大統領や他のアメリカ政府高官はこの行動について謝罪している。抗議行動が続く中、アフガン大統領のハミド・カルザイは（国民に）冷静に行動するように求めた。
My thought/opinion on this issue
I cannot understand what the NATO troops did. It has only made the problem confused.

bikenglishさん, Thank you for sharing this strange story! There must be more to it, don't you think? It's hard to imagine NATO troops doing anything so (literally) inflammatory, especially after the Guantánamo Bay scandal. Interesting that the officials were shot by an intelligence agent, right in a Ministry office! Have to wonder whether the shootings were unrelated to the Quran incident. A few suggestions are below. Great work!
intelligence agent
(He may or may not have been intelligent!)
agent, Abdul Saboor, shot
(Two commas to set off the name)
copies of the Islamic
book, the Quran, by
(Two commas—same rule as above)
Afghan president
(Probably, in this situation, since "Afghan president" is an epithet.)
continued
("called...as protests continued")
信じられないですね！ 木の蔭
kinokage-san,
Thank you for correcting my English with detailed explanation.
US's officials should give good education to US soldiers.
