FRANKFURT (Reuters) – German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius has cancelled a planned trip to Iraq and Jordan, a ministry spokesperson said on Sunday, citing security concerns after the Swedish Embassy in Baghdad was set alight last week in a protest over Qur’an burnings. On Saturday, several thousand Iraqis demonstrated in Baghdad over the recent burning or damaging of the Qur’an during anti-Islam protests in Sweden and Denmark. The cancellation of Pistorius’ trip, which was supposed to last for several days, was also in response to protests against a Danish non-governmental organization in Iraq, the spokesperson said.
