The Taliban administration has criticized Prince Harry after the British royal said in his memoir that he had killed 25 people in Afghanistan while serving as a military helicopter pilot, describing them as "chess pieces removed from the board.” Harry's highly personal book, Spare, went on sale in Spain days before its global launch on January 10. In one section, the 38-year-old recounts his two tours of Afghanistan -- first as a forward air controller in 2007-2008 and again in 2012, when he was a co-pilot gunner in Apache attack helicopters -- and the number of people he had killed.
