#UK#Afghanistan#WarCrimes: "One of the most senior special forces officers in the British Army broke ranks and reported to police that SAS soldiers under his command committed war crimes by murdering prisoners in Afghanistan, The Sunday Times can reveal.
The officer — who oversaw all special forces operations — told detectives from the Royal Military Police (RMP) that a “cancer had infected” a rogue SAS squadron that had murdered dozens of unarmed detainees.
He came forward despite his fears that SAS soldiers would inflict violent reprisals against his family if they knew he was blowing the whistle. He alleged their crimes were so serious that the entire regiment needed a “complete overhaul”.
The officer, known only by the cipher N1466, revealed to police the location of a safe containing a typed report detailing a disclosure from an SAS soldier that his unit had routinely murdered Afghan prisoners in their homes and planted weapons on their dead bodies." https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/a66bc853-d32d-4c54-b44e-d3f7d8fa5a95
