A whistleblower has released details of a cover-up by special forces during an independent inquiry into allegations of extra-judicial killings in Afghanistan by British troops.
The special forces soldier feared the elite SAS regiment would ‘go down the sewer’ unless he blew the whistle on what he believed was ‘illegal behaviour’.
The officer, who worked closely with the most senior SAS commanders, raised the alarm within a specific SAS squadron but was constantly rebuffed, transcripts of evidence – released despite objections by the Ministry of Defence – reveal.
The officer warned that the failure to own up to criminal acts in Afghanistan by the SAS – including shooting toddlers in their beds – would allow the regiment to descend to the level of despotic regimes.
Declassified has reported how the inquiry was forced on the Ministry of Defence after increasingly credible claims of ‘cold-blooded murder’; of planting weapons on innocent civilians and deleting incriminating documents.
