Prince Harry Back in England
Posted on: Saturday, 1 March 2008, 09:00 CST
Britain's Prince Harry arrived in London Saturday after being withdrawn from duty in Afghanistan after a Web site reported his deployment, it was reported.
The Times of London said Harry was greeted by Prince Charles, his father, and Prince William, his older brother.
The 23-year-old prince was withdrawn from Musa Qaleh, a former Taliban stronghold in Northern Helmand province, just hours after the media reported he had been stationed in the region or 10 weeks.
This decision has been taken primarily on the basis that the worldwide media coverage of Prince Harry in Afghanistan could impact on the security of those who are deployed there, as well as the risks to him as an individual soldier, Air Chief Marshal Sir Jock Stirrup said.
The Times said that Harry had been commanding a seven-man Spartan vehicle team trying to seize control of the village of Kariz de Baba.
