Taleban video game ban call
Defence Secretary Liam Fox has urged shops to ban a computer game where players can act as the Taleban and kill British troops. Dr Fox said 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 Taleban. Players choose which role they take.
A clip on the YouTube website shows a Taleban soldier fighting in southern Helmand province, where UK forces are based. Gamers are instructed to stop the coalition "at all costs", and receive points for every allied soldier they kill.
