“In May 2005 Newsweek had published an article accusing U.S. soldiers at Guantanamo of desecrating a copy of the Koran by flushing it down a toilet. The story had turned out to be false, and Newsweek had subsequently retracted it [on May 16, 2005]–but not before it sparked violent protests against the United States in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and across the Muslim world. The riots left at least fifteen people dead.”
