Britain's Prince Harry won't go to Iraq: Ministry

London, May 17: Britain's Prince Harry will not be sent to serve in Iraq after military commanders decided it would be too dangerous, Britain's Ministry of Defence said.n ''I have decided today that Prince Harry will not be deployed to Iraq,'' General Sir Richard Dannatt told reporters yesterday.

Harry, 22, the third in line to the throne and a junior officer in the army, had been due to be deployed to Basra, in southern Iraq, with his Blues and Royals regiment in the coming weeks as part of the latest British troop rotation.

Harry has repeatedly said he wants to be deployed with his men, but Ministry of Defence officials have expressed concern that he could become a target for Iraqi insurgents, endangering himself and those serving under him.
