(Reuters) - A fundamentalist Christian pastor on Thursday called off his plan to burn copies of the Koran on Saturday.
Terry Jones, who heads the tiny, little-known Dove World Outreach Center church based in the Florida university town of Gainesville, said an agreement had been reached with Muslim leaders to move the controversial location of a planned Islamic cultural center and mosque in New York.
It would be moved away from the site of the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States.
