The inquiry released a precis of evidence from seven UK special forces (UKSF) witnesses
The investigation is examining a number of night-time raids called deliberate detention operationsLONDON – Soldiers who were part of British special forces working in Afghanistan have told a public inquiry of their concerns that Afghans who posed no threat had been murdered in raids against suspected Taliban insurgents, including some aged under 16.
One of the soldiers, known only as N1799, told the inquiry he had raised concerns in 2011 about a unit referred to as UKSF1 after having a conversation about its operations with one of its members on a training course. Questioned by the inquiry's lawyer, he said he understood this related to those under 18 and younger than 16.
Giving evidence, he agreed with Oliver Glasgow, the lead lawyer for the inquiry, that by April 2011 he believed UKSF1 might have been committing extra-judicial killings. The inquiry's aim is to ascertain whether there was credible information of extra-judicial killings, whether investigations by the military police years later into N1799's concerns were properly conducted, and if unlawful killings were covered up.
