A video that shows a group of men, purportedly Taliban militants in Kandahar, south Afghanistan, shooting at a Swedish flag and then blowing it up has been circulating on social media.
At the end of January, the Scandinavian country infuriated the Islamic world when far-right activist Rasmus Paludan burned a copy of the Koran outside the Turkish embassy in Stockholm after being granted permission by authorities.
The video shows a group in Afghanistan standing with a flag as one of them shoots into the distance with a rifle.
A line of men are then seen, with one of the members firing a rocket launcher, which causes the Swedish flag pinned to the side of a building to explode.
The group members then walk over, with one of them holding up the damaged flag and pointing a gun towards it.
They walk off carrying the flag and saluting with their rifles.
On January 27, thousands of Afghans held protests to express anger over the Koran burning in Sweden.
Kabul residents in different parts of the city took part in demonstrations, according to police spokesperson Khalid Zadran.
In the northern province of Badakshan, a spokesperson for the provincial government said thousands had gathered after Friday prayers to protest.
Earlier that week, the Taliban-run Afghan foreign ministry had called on the Swedish government to punish the individual and to prevent any similar incidents taking place.
Paludan, a convicted extremist, who holds both Danish and Swedish citizenship, repeated the protest at a mosque in Copenhagen, in front of a Turkish embassy.
He vowed to do so every day until Sweden is admitted to NATO….
