Members of the SAS killed detainees and unarmed people in Afghanistan, according to a new BBC report. The broadcaster says newly obtained reports suggest one unit may have unlawfully killed 54 people during one six-month tour.
The BBC says evidence of the killings was not passed on to a murder inquiry being conducted by the Royal Military Police. BBC Panorama analysed SAS operational accounts and spoke to individuals who served with the SAS squadron in Helmand in 2010/2011.
They said weapons were planted at the scene to justify the killings.
