A former senior UK Special Forces officer has told a public inquiry into alleged war crimes in Afghanistan that the SAS had a “golden pass allowing them to get away with murder”.
The accusation was published by the Afghanistan Inquiry on Wednesday as part of a release of material summarising seven closed hearings with members of UK Special Forces.
Not really, they certainly had secret executions but they were limited. And a lot of that was done by police or the militias. The army wasn’t just rolling around shooting people.
