Lord Justice Haddon-Cave is leading an independent inquiry investigating allegations of war crimes and cover-up involving UK special forces, particularly the SAS, during Afghanistan operations between 2010 and 2013.The inquiry heard testimony from former senior officer N1466, who accused senior officials—including the directors of UK special forces codenamed N1802 and his successor—of deliberately suppressing evidence and allowing unlawful killings to go unpunished.The
UK Ministry of Defence supports the inquiry, which is seen as the most comprehensive public investigation into alleged war crimes by British special forces in the Afghanistan conflict.
