How pastor was convinced to put 'on hold' Koran burning

The pastor of a small US church who planned to burn copies of the Koran on the anniversary of 9/11 has said his plan is now on hold.

Terry Jones said he was calling off the event after the group behind a planned Islamic centre near Ground Zero in New York agreed to relocate it.

But the cultural centre's organisers said they had no plans to move it.
