Dark Secrets of War: Public Inquiry Exposes Alleged SAS War Crimes in Afghanistan

GANDHINAGAR: The British Army faces its most damning allegations yet. A new podcast ‘The Good Soldier: Killings and cover-up in Afghanistan’ sheds light on the public inquiry which has begun, investigating claims that the elite Special Air Service (SAS) unit committed multiple war crimes during the Afghanistan conflict. The investigation paints a disturbing picture of UK special forces, potentially operating outside the control of their military and political superiors.

Secret SAS Killings Exposed in Afghanistan Inquiry: Families Seek Justice After Years of Cover-Up

A veil of secrecy is finally being lifted on British special forces operations in Afghanistan. The public inquiry led by Sir Charles Haddon-Cave is uncovering disturbing allegations of war crimes committed by the elite SAS unit.

Multiple Murders and Cover-Up Claims:

Judge Haddon-Cave revealed shocking evidence from British special forces officers, detailing “multiple murders” and deliberate attempts to conceal them. The inquiry focuses on 80 suspicious deaths during SAS counter-terrorism raids between 2010 and 2013.

MoD’s Resistance and Public Outrage:

Despite repeated denials from the Ministry of Defence (MoD), the damning truth is coming to light. Families of Afghan victims, represented by lawyer Tessa Gregory, expressed outrage at the MoD’s attempts to impede the inquiry. Years of seeking the truth about their loved ones’ deaths are met with “cavalier” bureaucratic hurdles.

Delays and Insufficient Disclosure:

The MoD’s claim of difficulty finding qualified personnel to locate relevant documents raises suspicion. Lawyer Richard Hermer fears this might delay the hearings until 2025, and even worse, involve senior SAS officers in document selection – the very people accused of suppression.

Whistleblower Exposes “Cancerous” Practices:

A high-ranking special forces officer has courageously blown the whistle. He reported war crimes committed by his unit, including prisoner killings, and described it as a “cancer” that necessitates a complete overhaul of the SAS.

General Under Fire:

Colonel Gwyn Jenkins, who suppressed the whistleblower’s statement, recently received an appointment as Rishi Sunak’s National Security Advisor. This move raises concerns, considering the ongoing investigation and accusations of his involvement in covering up evidence.

Long Road to Justice:

The inquiry marks a critical turning point. Years of secrecy surrounding SAS operations are crumbling. Afghan families and concerned citizens alike demand justice for the victims and accountability from those responsible for these alleged crimes.
