A paratrooper wounded in Afghanistan was threatened by a Muslim visitor to the British hospital where he is recovering.<\/p>\n

Seriously wounded soldiers have complained that they are worried about their safety after being left on wards that are open to the public<\/a> at Selly Oak Hospital, Birmingham.<\/p>\n

On one occasion a member of the Parachute Regiment, still dressed in his combat uniform after being evacuated from Afghanistan, was accosted by a Muslim over the British involvement in the country.<\/p>\n

“You have been killing my Muslim brothers in Afghanistan,” the man said during a tirade.<\/p>\n

Because the soldier was badly injured and could not defend himself, he was very worried for his safety, sources told The Daily Telegraph.<\/p>\n

A relative of the Para said the man had twice walked on to the ward where two other soldiers and four civilians were being treated without once being challenged by staff.<\/p>\n

Ramstein has an outstanding unit for brain surgery, and neurological intensive care beds in Britain are in short supply. “The blokes see it that if you are unlucky you get wounded and go to the UK at the mercy of the NHS, but if you get a head wound you get sent to Ramstein in Germany where the US has an outstanding medical facility,” said an officer serving in Afghanistan.
