At least 1,000 protesters have staged a demonstration outside the main US base of Bagram in Afghanistan.The demonstrators, chanting "Die America", were angry at the arrest of a number of villagers on Monday night. Some threw stones at military vehicles.
Piles of tyres were burned on the main road near the base, sending clouds of black smoke billowing over the area.
Eyewitness say US troops fired warning shots at the demonstrators. The US military are denying this.
