Former UK Special Forces members have disclosed allegations of war crimes, including the murder of unarmed civilians and detainees, during operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. Eyewitness accounts describe routine killings, including the execution of children, with claims that these actions were systematic and condoned by leadership. The Ministry of Defence is currently supporting an ongoing public inquiry into these allegations, which span over a decade. A former high-ranking officer testified that evidence of these crimes was suppressed by the leadership of the SAS. The inquiry has revealed that the SAS killed 54 detainees and unarmed men in suspicious circumstances during a six-month tour. The inquiry is examining the failure of senior officials to report these incidents to the Royal Military Police, despite legal obligations. The testimonies have raised serious concerns about the conduct of elite military units and their accountability.
