        I’m told there are simulated paint rounds, not bullets. But “this is a terrible look” as one senior defence source just said to me.

        The range is in the loft of New Kabul Compound in Afghanistan. Soldiers practice 'guardian angel' drills here - protecting VIPs.

        There are images of celebrities on the range, but as VIPs to be protected rather than shot at.

        Appalling behaviour whichever way you look at it. And particularly so under current political climate

        Aye, right. The only innocent people who lost their lives were those the IRA blew up.
