January 22, 2013 12:29

Having flown on deadly sorties during his five-month military deployment, Prince Harry has confirmed that he killed Taliban insurgents in Afghanistan, taking them "out of the game", much like other soldiers fighting with him.

The 28-year-old, known as Captain Wales in the Army, is returning to the UK after his second deployment to the war-torn country. As a gunner in Apache attack helicopters, Harry flew on scores of missions with his fingers on the triggers of deadly rockets, missiles and a 30-mm cannon.

"Yeah, so lots of people have," he replied when asked if he killed from the cockpit. "The squadron's been out here. Everyone's fired a certain amount," he said.
