The Ministry of Defence has confirmed for the first time that UK Special Forces are at the centre of a war crimes inquiry.
The MoD on Wednesday abandoned an effort to restrict any mention of Special Forces’ involvement in alleged war crimes in Afghanistan.
The MoD’s stance had been challenged by bereaved family members and by several media outlets, including the BBC.
The inquiry follows years of reporting into alleged SAS unlawful killings.
