TALIBAN officials have taunted “loser” Prince Harry after he revealed he killed 25 fighters in his new book Spare.

Harry revealed in his book that he flew six missions on his second tour in Afghanistan in 2012 while serving in the British Army.
He claimed he killed 25 Taliban fighters during the war – something which has sparked the brutal group’s fury as it is now back in power in Afghanistan.
Taliban police spokesman Khalid Zadran 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.”
He raged at Harry for describing the fighters as “chess pieces” and adding he felt “neither proud nor ashamed”.
Mr Zadran said Harry’s description was “cruel” and “barbaric”.
“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 Mr 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.”
