A British soldier has described how he picked up a Taliban hand grenade which landed at his feet and threw it back towards the enemy. Caroline Wyatt reports for BBC News.
Rifleman James McKie was on a tiny rooftop in Sangin. He and two of his platoon could hear the bullets fired by the Taliban below bouncing off the roof.
The 29-year-old soldier had just finished firing back when the grenade thrown by the insurgents bounced off his platoon commander and landed just a foot away from him.
