The US marine who fired bullets at the Holy Koran should be "shot", according to fatwa issued by top Iraqi cleric.
The most powerful man in Iraq - Grand Ayatollah Ali Hussani Al Sistani - has called for killing of the America Marine who "fired" on the Muslim Holy Book.
Shia religious authority wants to see the soldier "suffer" a painful death.
US General has already begged forgiveness on behalf of the military.
The religious fatwa from the Shia leader demands the soldier's body to be riddled with 14 bullets, the exact same number that he had fired on the God's Holy Book.
Ayatollah Sistani says this punishment should be "examplary" because the crime is "unforgivable". The marine has "got to suffer".
Iraqi government has said that US apology is not enough.
