A public inquiry into alleged SAS war crimes in Afghanistan has heard that senior UK special forces leaders chose not to refer concerns about unlawful killings to military police, instead commissioning an internal review that concluded within a week and found no criminal wrongdoing.

A public inquiry into alleged SAS war crimes in Afghanistan has heard that senior UK special forces leaders chose not to refer concerns about unlawful killings to military police, instead commissioning an internal review that concluded within a week and found no criminal wrongdoing.

A former senior officer, identified only as N1466, told the inquiry that detainees appeared to have been executed during raids and that the pattern of killings was "not confined to a small number of soldiers." He said he reported his concerns to military police in 2015, years after first raising them internally.

Afghan partner forces refused on several occasions to operate alongside the British special forces sub-unit, and then-Afghan President Hamid Karzai made a "muscular" complaint to NATO commanders over British detention operations, according to evidence released by the inquiry.

The inquiry, established in 2023 and chaired by senior judge Charles Haddon-Cave, is examining the deaths of up to 80 Afghan civilians during SAS counter-terrorism raids between 2010 and 2013. It was launched after a BBC documentary reported that one SAS squadron killed 54 people in suspicious circumstances over six months.

SAS soldiers from at least two squadrons have applied for early release amid concerns over war crimes investigations into operations in Afghanistan, Syria and Northern Ireland, with sources describing the departures as a threat to national security. A total of 242 special forces troops are currently subject to legal inquiries costing around £1 million per month.

U.S. lawmakers Joni Ernst and Pat Harrigan have called on Congress to formally declare that retrospective prosecutions of allied special forces operators damage coalition trust and interoperability, and said they are pursuing legislation to shield American special operators from similar legal proceedings.
