HERAT, Afghanistan, May 22 (Reuters) - A protest over the shooting of the Koran by a U.S. soldier in Iraq turned violent in Afghanistan on Thursday, killing a Lithuanian soldier and two Afghan civilians.

The NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) said Afghan police killed the two civilians and wounded seven others after a rock-throwing crowd tried to storm the airfield in the town of Chaghcharan.

Three civilians were killed in the incident, said police spokesman Abdul Mutalib. The soldier was killed by gunfire, but it was not clear if the shots came from the crowd or from Taliban insurgents, an ISAF spokesman said. There were no indications that it was the result of so-called friendly fire.

The dead soldier was a Lithuanian from the Provincial Reconstruction Team (PRT) in Chaghcharan, the Lithuanian Defence Ministry said. One other soldier was wounded, ISAF said.

The protest was organised by students from a religious school, and the situation was now under control, Yawar said.
