Florida pastor cancels burning of Koran

The pastor of a small Florida church in the US who had wanted to burn copies of the Koran has called off his protest.



Terry Jones says he cancelled the event after the group behind a planned mosque close to Ground Zero in New York agreed to relocate it.



Jones had said the burning would be a stand against terrorism, but his plan was internationally condemned.



President Barack Obama had also warned Jones that the event would be a recruitment bonanza for al-Qaeda.
