Britain urges ban on Taliban computer game

BRITISH Defence Secretary Liam Fox has urged shops to ban a computer game where players can act as the Taliban and kill British troops.

He was “disgusted” that Medal of Honour allowed people to recreate attacks on Nato forces. An updated version of the popular game, due to be released in October, is based on the struggle between allied special forces and the Taliban – with players being allowed to choose a side.

A clip on the YouTube website shows a Taliban soldier fighting in southern Helmand province, where British forces are based.
