Pyongyang, November 23 (KCNA) -- More than 1 000 university students blocked a main highway in Jalalabad city, Afghanistan on Sunday to protest any agreement that would allow U.S. troops to remain in the country after a planned transfer of authority in 2014.

The protesters denounced any agreement that would keep U.S. troops in the country, blocking the road to Kabul and shouting "Death to America."
