Afghanistan 'unlawful killings': Taliban can give evidence to inquiry into allegations against British soldiers, judge says

The inquiry is set to examine 'extremely serious' allegations of unlawful activity by British armed forces in Afghanistan from mid-2010 to mid-2013

A senior judge has called for evidence relating to allegations of unlawful activity by British armed forces in Afghanistan from anyone - including the Taliban.

It stems from two DDOs which occurred in February 2011 and October 2012, when members of the Saifullah and Noorzai families were killed.Asked what would happen if the Taliban wanted to submit evidence to the inquiry, Sir Charles replied that he would hear from anyone with any evidence. During High Court proceedings in the Saifullah case, documents disclosed by the MoD revealed communications between officers in the British army which they say showed widespread knowledge and concerns about the killings: Just hours after the killings, the four deaths were described by one British officer as the"latest massacre!".
