THE Taliban have confirmed they never suspected that the British Army was deliberately killing them until Prince Harry’s book Spare.
The fundamentalist Islamic regime, which resumed ruling Afghanistan the minute Britain left, had charitably assumed that the deaths of more than 50,000 of its fighters were the kind of mishap that takes place during war.
But when Taliban leader Anas Haqqani was perusing his Daily Mail, he realised that the Duke of Sussex had been not just shooting missiles from a helicopter gunship as warning but deliberately to harm.
He continued: “Well the cat’s out of the bag now, isn’t it? And to think we had such faith in the good intentions of the British we wrote all those deaths off as accidents.
“We’d shoot at you, you’d shoot at us, it was all in good fun or so we thought. Until Harry’s shocking admission that puts the entire 20-year conflict in a new light.
“25 of our men murdered. And what if it wasn’t just him? What if it wasn’t just a rogue Prince chalking up kills to juice up his memoir? What if the whole Army was killing us on purpose?
“No. No, I can’t believe that. The rest of them are decent people. It was just that backstabbing bastard Harry.”
