KABUL (Pajhwok): Allegations of unlawful killings in Afghanistan against British special forces are being examined by an independent inquiry.
Defence Secretary Ben Wallace said the inquiry, launched in March, was reaching the stage of substantive hearings, AFP reported.
“I can confirm that the allegations relate to the conduct of UK Special Forces,” Wallace informed parliament in a written statement.
Detention operations between 2010 and 2013 and war crime allegations were probed by military police, the minister added.
Senior judge Charles Haddon-Cave, who is heading the inquiry, recently visited the office of the prosecutor at the International Criminal Court in . . .
