Afghan Official: Woman Beaten to Death by Mob, Set on Fire and Thrown in River ‘Completely Innocent’ of Burning Koran | Video | TheBlaze.com:

"She was killed late Thursday by a mob of mostly men who beat her, set her body on fire and then threw it into the Kabul River, according to police accounts. Police are still investigating what prompted the mob assault.

Some Afghan officials and religious leaders sought to justify Farkhunda’s killing, alleging that she had burned a Koran.

But at her graveside, the head of the Interior Ministry’s criminal investigation directorate, Gen. Mohammad Zahir, said no evidence had been found to support those allegations."
