THE Afghan Taliban said yesterday they were doing everything in their power to try to kidnap or assassinate Britain's Prince Harry, who arrived in Afghanistan last week to fly attack helicopters.
Queen Elizabeth's 27-year-old grandson is in Afghanistan on a four-month tour, based out of Camp Bastion in the volatile Helmand Province, where he will be on the front line in the NATO-led war against Taliban insurgents.
"We are using all our strength to get rid of him, either by killing or kidnapping," Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said by telephone. "We have informed our commanders in Helmand to do whatever they can to eliminate him." Britain's Ministry of Defence declined to comment.
