Taliban: Harry has a mental problem

PRINCE Harry has incurred the wrath of critics both in Britain and abroad after describing how he killed insurgents in Afghanistan.

The prince (28) said he had taken members of the Taliban "out of the game" during his posting in Helmand.

"Take a life to save a life. That's what we revolve around, I suppose."

The Taliban labelled him a "coward" for speaking out only after he had left the country, claiming he "has probably developed a mental problem" as a result of playing too many computer games.

In Britain, the Stop the War Coalition said his comments were "arrogant and insulting" and questioned how Prince Harry, who served as co-pilot in an Apache attack helicopter, knew the men he had killed were Taliban members. (© Independent News Service)
