Sky News: An investigation shows that members of the British special forces in Afghanistan had a policy of killing unarmed boys, even without threat.

An investigation has revealed a "deliberate policy" among some members of the British special forces in Afghanistan, targeting the killing of unarmed boys, even when they did not pose a threat. A note from a senior officer, dated 2011, warned about this practice, mentioning that a "conscious decision" was made to cover up war crimes. Although the officer acknowledged that the allegations could be mere rumors, he emphasized that they warranted a more thorough investigation.

Documents released following the investigation show that incidents of this type were covered up, and officers received rewards for illegal actions. Afghan families claim that UKSF conducted a "killing campaign" against civilians, and previous investigations did not lead to criminal prosecutions. The British Ministry of Defence stated that it supports the investigation and awaits its results.
