CAMP BASTION , Afghanistan -- Britain's
Ministry of Defense says Prince Harry has returned to Afghanistan to fly
Apache attack helicopters during a four-month tour of combat duty.
The
27-year-old who is third in line to the British throne looked relaxed,
if slightly tired Friday, and gave a thumbs-up after a long journey on a
standard troop flight from England.
Capt.
Harry Wales, as he is known, wore his combat uniform upon arrival and
joined his 100-strong unit - the 662 Squadron, 3 Regiment Army Air
Corps.
The deployment Friday follows an
embarrassing incident in which Internet website published photographs of
the prince naked and taking part in a strip billiards game in a Las Vegas hotel room.
