The U.S.-led NATO coalition said in a statement that the overnight attack focused on Camp Bastion, a huge British base adjacent to Camp Leatherneck, which houses U.S. Marine operations in southern Helmand province. “We attacked that base because Prince Harry was also on it and so they can know our anger,” Taliban spokesman Qari Youssef Ahmadi told The Associated Press by telephone.

The official spoke on condition of anonymity, in line with government policy. Capt....
