‘Children handcuffed and shot’ – ex-UK Special Forces break silence on war crime claims

Former UK Special Forces members have disclosed eyewitness accounts of alleged war crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan, including the execution of unarmed individuals and children. The testimonies describe a culture of lawlessness within elite regiments like the SAS and SBS, where unlawful killings became routine, often without justification. These revelations, which expand on ongoing inquiries, suggest a systematic breach of international law, prompting calls for further investigation by the UK Ministry of Defence.
