Britain's Prime Minister Gordon Brown has condemned the Taliban for using a child suicide bomber in an attack which killed three British troops.
Military and government sources said Britain has reinforced its 8,100 forces in Afghanistan with about 300 troops to press a campaign against the Taliban in the area around Lashkar Gah, the provincial capital of southern Helmand province. British forces took heavy casualties in Helmand on Friday (December 12), when four troops were killed, one by a roadside bomb and three by a young suicide bomber.
