We'll kidnap or kill Harry, vows Taliban

Senior Taliban commanders have reacted with glee at having the opportunity to target Prince Harry while he is deployed in Afghanistan, saying they will make killing or kidnapping him a priority.

The prince, who arrived in Afghanistan on Friday to begin his four-month mission flying Apache helicopters, was subject to a media blackout during his previous posting to the country in 2007.

But, with the Prince's renewed operations being a high-profile story this time around, the threats have come quickly.

"It's good news for us as we are always in search of such precious birds," Maulvi Ahmadullah Ahmadyar told Channel 4 News from Helmand province.

"Our priority will be to kidnap him at any cost."
