KABUL, Afghanistan, Feb. 29 (UPI) -- Afghan and U.S. authorities have opened both separate and joint investigations into the Koran-burning at Bagram Air Force Base, officials said Wednesday.
The U.S. military investigation, the first step in the Army legal process, is the only one that could result in punishment for anyone found at fault, The New York Times reported. The AR15-6, the military code for the investigation, was opened Feb. 21 by Gen. John Allen, the head of the NATO mission.
