An investigation into the British Army's Special Air Service operations in Afghanistan has recently revealed "key evidence" photographs. The lead lawyer for the investigation, Oliver Glasgow, stated that these photographs could serve as evidence of war crimes committed by the British Army.

This investigation has publicly disclosed photographs of the deceased from two military operations involving the British Army's Special Air Service. In the photos, several individuals are lying on beds with gunshot wounds to their heads. Glasgow noted that many of the individuals in the photographs "appear to have suffered gunshot wounds to the head," with some bodies "resting on pillows," suggesting that further analysis could confirm whether these individuals were shot while asleep. Glasgow indicated that the disclosed photographs seem to contradict the accounts provided by the British Army's Special Air Service, warranting serious questions about the narrative.

An anonymous investigator stated, "The position of the bullet holes on the walls is so low that the British Army's Special Air Service's account of the events is untenable." Reports indicate that the investigation team is submitting the photographs for professional forensic analysis.

This public investigation aims to examine allegations that between 2010 and 2013, the British Army's Special Air Service killed unarmed civilians and detainees during nighttime raid operations and covered up the killings by burying weapons.
