2019 MoD letter confirms allegations of UK SAS unlawful killings in Afghanistan inquiry.

An independent inquiry into allegations of unlawful killings by the UK SAS in Afghanistan has revealed that a 2019 Ministry of Defence letter described the claims as "broadly accurate." The inquiry is assessing whether the SAS executed unarmed civilians between 2010 and 2013. Critics of the Overseas Operations Bill argue that a change from a 10-year to a 5-year prosecution limit may exempt the SAS from accountability, raising concerns about potential war crimes.
