Prince Harry may face trial over killing of 25 Taliban fighters in Afghanistan

The Taliban administration has declared that Duke of Sussex, Prince Harry, who recently admitted to killing 25 Afghan soldiers, will appear before the International Court.

 

The Taliban’s police spokesman, Khalid Zadran, made this declaration on Friday in Kabul, the nation’s capital.

 

Zadran responded to Prince Harry’s admission that he killed 25 Taliban fighters while operating an Apache helicopter during the conflict.

 

The Duke of Sussex described how he flew six sorties during his second tour of duty in Afghanistan in 2012 and killed 25 Taliban in his upcoming biography, Spare.

 

Harry first participated in airstrikes from 2007 to 2008 as a forward air controller, then from 2012 to 2013 he piloted the assault helicopter.

According to Harry, he flew six sorties as a pilot on which “human lives were taken,” as reported by Newsmen.

 

He went on to say that he was neither proud of the deed nor ashamed of it. He also compared taking out the objectives to taking “chess pieces” off of a board.

 

“My number is 25. It’s not a number that fills me with satisfaction, but nor does it embarrass me,” he wrote in Spare.

 

Reacting, the Taliban official said, “Prince Harry will always be remembered in Helmand – Afghans will never forget the killing of their innocent countrymen.”

 

“The perpetrators of such crimes will one day be brought to the international court and criminals like Harry who proudly confess their crimes will be brought to the court table in front of the international community.”

 

Zadran added that Prince Harry’s description of those he had killed as “chess pieces” and that he was “neither proud nor ashamed” of his actions, was “cruel”, “barbaric” and that such actions had legitimised the Taliban’s deadly insurgency against NATO troops in Afghanistan.

 

“Occupying forces in Afghanistan used to start operations under nightfall on our villages. Prince Harry was involved in this and he has taken the lives of dozens of defenseless Afghans,” said Zadran.

 

“The cruel and barbaric actions of Harry and others aroused the Afghan population and led to an armed uprising against them. We call this kind of uprising holy jihad,” he added.

 

The highly anticipated memoir by Britain’s Prince Harry also disclosed that his older brother, Prince William, assaulted him physically during a dispute over his bride, Meghan Markle.
