A member of UK special forces who reported alleged 'flat-packing' murders of civilians in Afghanistan has expressed concerns about being labeled a traitor for coming forward. The Afghanistan Inquiry has conducted closed hearings where special forces personnel have provided evidence about the alleged killings between 2010 and 2013. The whistleblower, identified as N1799, stated that he had trained with someone from the accused unit, UKSF1, who allegedly discussed the incidents during operations. N1799 claims the account given by the UKSF member contradicts a previous statement by commanding officers asserting that 'UKSF does not operate outside of the law'. He fears for his safety both now and when he initially made the allegations.

He said a "dropped weapon" was known as "Mr Wolf". When asked whether the term was used by one person or by many, N1799 replied: "At least two or three people." Counsel to the inquiry Oliver Glasgow KC went on to ask: "Have you seen the film Pulp Fiction by Quentin Tarantino, where the individual who introduces himself as Mr Wolf says 'I'm Mr Wolf and I'm here to solve problems'? Do you remember that? The witness said: "No, I don't.
