Good afternoon. The Taliban have attacked a base in | :00:23. | :00:27. | |
Afghanistan, where Prince Harry is stationed, killing two US Marines. | :00:27. | :00:34. | |
He was unharmed in the incident. Insurgents say that they targeted | :00:34. | :00:39. | |
Bastion in a revenge for an American film deemed insulting to | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
Islam. We have this report from Kabul. | :00:43. | :00:48. | |
This video released by the Taliban, claiming to show the aftermath of | :00:48. | :00:51. | |
the attack. They say that the smoke is rising from what is supposed to | :00:52. | :00:57. | |
be one of the most heavily defended and secure military bases in | :00:57. | :01:00. | |
Afghanistan. Bastion, where thousands of US and British troops | :01:00. | :01:05. | |
are based. Bastion is now also home to Prince Harry, who arrived here | :01:05. | :01:09. | |
one week ago as an Apache helicopter pilot. Unlike the last | :01:09. | :01:14. | |
time he was in Helmand province in 2008, this time, the Ministry of | :01:14. | :01:17. | |
Defence has made public his presence. The Taliban have said | :01:17. | :01:23. | |
that they would target him, but NATO insists he has never been in | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
danger. The question now is how the insurgents were able to penetrate, | :01:26. | :01:32. | |
what is supposed to be a secure military base and airfield? Bastion | :01:32. | :01:38. | |
is situated in the desert, surrounded by a fence with | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
surveillance equipment and guards. It was said that the insurgents | :01:42. | :01:46. | |
launched the attack last night under the cover of darkness. A | :01:46. | :01:52. | |
suicide bomber used to breach the Bastion's perimeter wall. Taliban | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
opened fire with machine guns and rocket-propelled. Two US Marines | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
were killed, buildings and aircraft have been damaged. | :01:59. | :02:04. | |
We are always concerned about the security. That is why we always | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
assess the security measures and adopt different measures if | :02:08. | :02:13. | |
required. From what I can see now in this attack we killed 18 | :02:13. | :02:19. | |
insurgent, captured one. So we are still having to draw on the lesson | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
that has been learned, but this is part of the investigation. | :02:22. | :02:27. | |
The Taliban say that this attack, which appears to have been planned | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
and coordinated was revenge for the film that has sparked protest | :02:31. | :02:36. | |
across the Muslim world. They are also warning of further retaliation. | :02:36. | :02:41. | |
We can talk to Jonathan live from Kabul. What do you make of the | :02:41. | :02:48. | |
claims by the Taliban, that they were targeting Prince Harry? Well, | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
the Taliban, even when the protests started, made clear that they were | :02:52. | :02:57. | |
seeking revenge for the film that caused offence to the Muslim world. | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
Indeed that is what they said was the motive for this attack. That | :03:01. | :03:06. | |
said, why they targeted Bastion, they are now claiming it was to do | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
with Prince Harry. You must remember that the Taliban are | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
trying to get as much propaganda out much the attack as they can. | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
They want the world's attention with the name of Prince Harry. The | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
bottom line is that Prince Harry, according to NATO was never in | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
danger. He was about a kilometre away from where the attack happened | :03:25. | :03:30. | |
on the US side of the base. The bottom line is also, that he is not | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
to change his deployment, he will stay here. That is the message | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
coming from the Ministry of Defence. I think some of the claims that the | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
Taliban are trying to use here are seen as propaganda. | :03:41. | :03:47. | |
In a separate attack in Afghanistan, a soldier from 1st Battalion | :03:47. | :03:52. | |
Grenadier Guards has been killed it was said that the soldier struck a | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
roadside bomb yesterday in the Nahr-e-Saraj district of Helmand | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
province. His family has been informed. | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
Egyptian security forces have cleared away demonstrators in | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
central Chiropractic Association. They have been protesting against | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
the film that they say insults Islam. They have been protesting | :04:10. | :04:15. | |
for five days and also from nearby Tahrir Square. A number of arrests | :04:15. | :04:21. | |
were made. An Italy magazine say it is plans to publish fovs of the | :04:21. | :04:26. | |
Duchess of Cambridge sun -- photographs of the Duchess of | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
Cambridge next week. The Royal Family are planning on suing a | :04:30. | :04:38. | |
French magazine which has already published the pictures. | :04:38. | :04:45. | |

angered by the photos now take action, it is being pursued in the | :04:50. | :04:57. | |
courts, while they continue to represent the Queen abroad. | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
On their travels, they meet with people who sympathise. | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
They don't have a choice as to who they are, but the rest of the | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
people, we have a choice. When we take a picture of somebody else, | :05:09. | :05:14. | |
how do you use that. Why would you want to embarrass anyone? | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
intrusion, they have called grotesque and unjustifiable has | :05:18. | :05:25. | |
taken its toll. The royal couple's focus is on to ensure it does not | :05:25. | :05:29. | |
happen again. So on Monday in another continent and another | :05:29. | :05:36. | |
capital city, the lawyers of the Royal Family are to ask a | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
injunction to ban anyone else from publishing photos of this future | :05:40. | :05:46. | |
Queen. Speed is the essence for the couple whose latest stop is this | :05:46. | :05:52. | |
part of Borneo, a rainforest. The jungle offers respite for Kate and | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
