London: Prince Harry has killed a Taliban leader, his first “kill”, British media reported on Sunday. The second in line to the throne, who is a co-pilot gunner, was called in to provide air support to troops tracking a commander-level Taliban chief and hit the target with a 100-pound Hellfire missile fired from an Apache helicopter. This is the first time the prince has been involved in a fatal airstrike against a Taliban commander, The Sun reported. According to the Daily Mail, the attack happened in late October, shortly after Harry returned to Afghanistan for his second deployment. A defence insider said: “We were on patrol and the Apache helicopters were called in. We heard this posh voice come over the radio and knew it was Big H. They were tracking a Taliban leader — he was commander-level.” Captain Harry Wales — as he is known in the army — is a member of the Apache unit, which has the highest “kill rate” in the war.
