The UK’s special forces operatives “repeatedly killed detainees and unarmed men in suspicious circumstances” in Afghanistan, the BBC alleged on Tuesday before airing a documentary on its investigation into the subject.
In two articles published on Tuesday about its “Panorama” programme scheduled to be aired later in the day, the BBC alleged that a Special Air Service (SAS) unit “may have unlawfully killed 54 people in one six-month tour” that began in November 2010, citing documents, ballistic analysis, and witness accounts.
