Radical Taliban movement threatened to kill British Prince Harry, who has just arrived in Afghanistan to serve as a helicopter pilot in the Royal Air Force, reportedly by AFP. “We will do our best to kill Prince Harry and other British military men located in the base of Gilmende. Kidnapping him is not our aim. He’s our target and we will kill him,” a Taliban representative told the news agency in a phone interview.
The prince came to Afghanistan last Thursday and is staying at Camp Bastion in Helmand Province. Third in the line of succession to the thrones, 27-year-old Harry will take part in active military actions against Taliban. It will be reminded that in 2008 Prince Harry was deployed for 10 weeks in this Afghan province. He had to go back to Britain ahead of time, because the information on his whereabouts leaked to the mass media. This time it was known before about his deployment in Afghanistan and the Ministry of Defense has confirmed the fact of his arrival at the base.
