Britain's Prince Harry says he killed Afghan insurgents
during sorties against the Taliban while on his second tour
of duty in Afghanistan where he was a gunner in Apache attack
helicopters.
When they're not cutting ribbons at community centres and
making speeches for charity, Prince William and brother
Prince Harry are proving to be saviours of the sky, British
newspapers report.
Two US Marines have been killed and other Americans wounded
during a Taliban attack on a base in southern Afghanistan
where Britain's Prince Harry is stationed, US officials told
Reuters, speaking on condition of anonymity.
The Afghan Taliban say they are doing everything in their
power to try to kidnap or kill Britain's Prince Harry, who
arrived in Afghanistan last week to fly attack helicopters.
Britain's press watchdog said it would be inappropriate for
it to investigate the publication of naked photos of Prince
Harry by Rupert Murdoch's Sun newspaper, because the prince
had yet to make a formal complaint.
Britain's Prince Harry was happy to poke fun at himself when
he made his first official public appearance since pictures
of him cavorting naked while on holiday in Las Vegas were
published.
Britain's defence ministry says Prince Harry has qualified as
an Apache attack helicopter pilot, graduating as the best
co-pilot gunner in his class after 18 months of training.
