Violence erupted after police arrested a "mentally retarded" man said to have burnt pages of the holy book in Kuchlak, about 16 kilometres north of Quetta, the capital of Balochistan province, senior administration official Qambar Dashti told AFP. "Angry protesters, mostly Afghan refugees, torched several vehicles and pelted police with stones," Dashti said.
