Kabul: On Friday, a top Taliban leader slammed Prince Harry for admitting that while serving in Afghanistan, he had killed 25 people, comparing it to taking “chess pieces” off a board.

According to British media, Harry discloses the precise number of individuals he murdered during two tours of duty in his memoir, which will be published next week.

“My number is 25. It´s not a number that fills me with satisfaction, but nor does it embarrass me,” he wrote in the book “Spare” due out Tuesday.

Anas Haqqani, a senior Taliban leader, criticised the Duke of Sussex over the remarks, saying those Harry killed were Afghans who had families.

“Mr Harry! The ones you killed were not chess pieces, they were humans,” Haqqani tweeted, accusing the prince of committing “war crimes”.

“The truth is what you´ve said; Our innocent people were chess pieces to your soldiers, military and political leaders.

“Still, you were defeated in that ´game´.”

Harry completed ten years of service in the British military and attained the rank of captain.

He served two tours of service against the Taliban, first in 2007 and 2008 as a forward air controller ordering airstrikes and then in 2012 and 2013 as an attack helicopter pilot.
