Two former heads of UK Special Forces suppressed evidence of possible SAS war crimes, a former high-ranking officer has told a public inquiry in London in closed evidence sessions.
The officer, who was among the most senior in special forces, said he had passed what he called "explosive" evidence suggesting "criminal behaviour" to the then director of special forces in 2011.
The claims come from testimony published by the Independent Inquiry relating to Afghanistan, which is examining allegations the SAS murdered detainees and unarmed civilians, including children, during operations.
BBC Senior International reporter Joel Gunter has been telling the Global News Podcast more about the story.
