British soldier kidnapped by Taliban 'and executed'

[Beorn]

Hundreds of troops were today engaged in a desperate search for a British soldier kidnapped by the Taliban.
The man - who has not been named - was seized during a fierce gun battle with insurgents yesterday evening in the Babaji area of southern Helmand.

A Taliban source claimed he has been executed.

'The soldier was captured yesterday evening during a firefight. When the fighting got more intense we couldn't keep him so we had to kill him,' Qari Mohammad Yousuf said by telephone from an undisclosed location.

The MoD today confirmed that the missing solider was British and his family had been informed of his disappearance.

One less brave Scotsman, to be replaced by god only knows how many immigrants.

Well done, Britain!
