Newsweek Pulls Back on Report That Provoked Afghan Riots

By BRIAN KNOWLTON

International Herald Tribune
Published: May 15, 2005

WASHINGTON, May 15 - Newsweek magazine said today that it might have
erred in reporting that American interrogators at the Guant namo Bay
naval base in Cuba might have desecrated detainees' copies of the Koran,
a report that has provoked deadly rioting in Afghanistan.

But Stephen J. Hadley, the national security adviser, said angrily today
that if such acts of desecration were discovered, "people will be held
to account."

Riots inspired by the Newsweek report have broken out elsewhere in the
region. But at least 17 people have died in Afghanistan, where the worst
violence erupted in the town of Ghazni, south of Kabul.

Townspeople and officials said that demonstrators had been stirred to
outrage by local mullahs during Friday prayer, but acknowledged that
"troublemakers" may have exploited the situation to shoot at the police.

Mr. Hadley, a man of normally calm demeanor, got somewhat exercised when
asked about the report that a Koran might have been thrown into a
toilet, or placed on a toilet seat, at Guant namo.

"This is not our policy," he said on CNN. "Our policy is to have nothing
but the utmost respect for the holy Koran, and if this did occur, people
will be held to account."

Newsweek reported an even angrier reaction from the Pentagon spokesman,
Lawrence DiRita to the article. Told that an anonymous government
official had insisted to a reporter that he clearly recalled
investigative reports describing "a toilet incident," it said, "DiRita
exploded: 'People are dead because of what this son of a b!tch said. How
could he be credible now?' "

The magazine said the Defense Department had found no evidence of such
desecration; in an editorial, the magazine said, "we regret that we got
any part of our story wrong and extend our sympathies to victims of the
violence and to the U.S. soldiers caught in its midst."

Newsweek carried its brief original report in the May 9 issue. It noted
today that similar reports had circulated for months in the British and
Russian press, and on the Arab news agency Al-Jazeera.

The magazine said that notes from Marc Falkoff, who is representing 13
Yemenis held at Guant namo, blamed a guard stomping on a Koran for an
incident in August 2003 when 23 detainees tried to kill themselves. One
of the 13 told Mr. Falkoff, according to his notes, that another
detainee had attempted suicide "after the guard took his Koran and threw
it in the toilet."

A series of military spokesmen have denied that such an incident took
place, however.
Newsweek noted that the explosive protests seemed surprising to some,
compared to reaction to the documented detainee abuse at Abu Ghraib
prison near Baghdad.
"But Westerners, including those at Newsweek, may underestimate how
severely Muslims resent the American presence," the magazine wrote,
"especially when it in any way interferes with Islamic religious faith."

Last week, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said pointedly that any
desecration of the Koran would not be tolerated.

Earlier, President Hamid Karzai, returning from a trip to drum up more
aid from Europe, expressed shame and frustration at the violence that
has racked Afghanistan over the past week.

At his heavily guarded office in Kabul, he blamed "enemies of peace" and
"enemies of stability" for violently subverting student protests over
the reports of Koran desecrations.
"Who are they who have such enmity with Afghanistan," Mr. Karzai said
Saturday, "a nation that is begging for money to build the country and
construct buildings, and during the night they come and destroy it?"

He pointed out that 200 Korans had been burned when a library in
Jalalabad was set on fire.

"Afghan students were encouraged to rise up and start demonstrations,"
he said, "and then other elements got into the demonstration and in the
name of Afghanistan's students and boys, destroyed Afghanistan's
property."

He mentioned no names, but seemed to outline the agenda of Al Qaeda,
elements in Pakistan and renegade Afghan commanders.

Mr. Karzai said he could understand the anger at the Newsweek report.
But he urged people to await the outcome of the investigation that the
Bush administration has promised.

"If it is true that it happened," he said, "we will ask the U.S. that
the perpetrator be punished."

On Thursday, Gen. Richard B. Myers, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff, was asked at a Pentagon briefing about the reported desecration.
He said the only relevant log entry found so far concerned a detainee
who was "reported by a guard to be ripping pages out of a Koran and
putting in the toilet to stop it up as a protest."
He said that incident had not been confirmed.

Carlotta Gall of The New York Times contributed reporting from Ghazni,
Afghanistan, for this article.
