Prince Harry was frantically rushed
into a heavily secured safe-house during the Camp Bastion raid of
September 2012 as 15 heavily armed Taliban soldiers ran amok in the
British base.
The
fourth-in-line to the British throne was serving at the base in
Afghanistan when fighters dressed in U.S. Army uniforms unleashed a
ground assault on September 14th and destroyed or damaged eight aircraft
worth a total of $200 million.
Two
U.S. Marines also lost their lives in the melee described as 'the worst
loss of U.S. air-power in a single incident since the Vietnam War' and
Captain Harry Wales, identified as a legitimate military target by the
Taliban, survived the four hour battle that raged inside the base which
had been thought to be impregnable.
