New photos are 'essential evidence' of possible SAS war crimes, inquiry told

New photos are'essential evidence' of possible SAS war crimes, inquiry told An inquiry into UK special forces operations in Afghanistan has released photos described as essential evidence, showing soldiers could have executed unarmed people laying asleep. For the first time, the inquiry has made public photos taken of the deceased, across two SAS operations, that show multiple individuals lying in bed with shots to the head. The inquiry's lead barrister, Oliver Glasgow KC, said the photos may be evidence of possible war crimes and worthy of expert interrogation. The public inquiry is examining allegations that the SAS murdered unarmed civilians and detainees on night raids between 2010 and 2013 and planted weapons to cover up the killings. The graphic photographs show multiple unarmed people lying in bed. One person was tucked under a floral blanket, others with their heads on pillows, blood pooling around their heads.
