Rev. Terry Jones, the pastor of a tiny, independent church in Florida who promised to burn copies of the Quran on the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks has said he won't follow through if he is able to meet with the organisers and imam behind a mosque planned near Ground Zero in New York. It wasn't clear if he meant the burning would be halted indefinitely or just for Saturday. His words come as Muslims worldwide express anger at the planned protest.
