The Taliban said it was determined to kill Britain’s Prince Harry, serving in Afghanistan four years after his previous deployment was cut short over security concerns.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A militia spokesman said the group had a “high-value plan” to attack the third in line to the British throne in southern province Helmand, one of the toughest battlefields in the 10-year war.<\/p>\n

“We will do our best to kill Prince Harry and Britain’s other troops based in Helmand,”<\/strong> the spokesman, who gave his name as Zabihullah Mujahid.<\/p>\n

“It is not important for us to kidnap him. We will target him and we will kill him,” he added.<\/p>\n

The 27-year-old Apache helicopter pilot, who hit the headlines last month after he was photographed naked at a party in Las Vegas, will spend four months based at the heavily fortified Camp Bastion in Helmand.<\/p>\n

“Whoever fights in our country is our enemy and we will do everything possible to kill him,” said Mujahid.<\/p>\n

Britain says Harry’s squadron “will provide surveillance, deterrence and, when required, close combat attack capabilities as well as escort duties for other aircraft”.<\/p>\n

In 2008, the royal was hastily withdrawn from Afghanistan when a news blackout surrounding his deployment, on the ground directing aircraft in attacks on Taliban positions, was broken.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This time, however, the military has released photographs and video of him in Afghanistan from the start.<\/p>\n

The Ministry of Defence said any risk “has been, and will continue to be, assessed”.<\/p>\n

That is scary! He better never step foot in that country again!<\/strong><\/p>\n
