Five soldiers from the UK Special Air Service are being investigated for possibly committing war crimes in Syria while conducting an operation to kill an extremist.
SAS soldiers have been operating in Syria for the last 10 years against ISIS, which seized control of a significant area of both Syria and Iraq in 2014.
According to SAS sources who talked to the Daily Mail, the terrorist who was killed by special forces two years ago had a primed bomb vest nearby, even though he was not wearing it when he was found dead.
It is alleged that the soldiers used undue force. It is said that since they thought the individual was preparing a suicide strike, they ought to have taken him into custody.
According to the BBC, no soldiers have been detained while the Defence Serious Crime Unit investigates the situation.
The Daily Mail claims that following the investigation, military leaders proposed accusing the soldiers of murder. The Crown Prosecution Service's civilian equivalent is called the Service Prosecuting Authority.
Until they are charged, they are permitted to keep running.
The Ministry of Defence told The National that while it does not comment on operations involving special forces, it takes misbehavior complaints seriously.
A MOD official said, "We hold our personnel to the highest standards, and any allegations of wrongdoing are taken seriously."
"Any criminal allegations are referred to the Service Police for investigation when appropriate."
In 2018, US special forces' member Sgt. Matt Tonroe, a 33-year-old British soldier, was killed by explosives during a joint coalition operation in Syria.
He remains the first British soldier to have lost their life battling ISIS while serving in the field.
There are currently claims being investigated by the independent investigation into Afghanistan that, during night raids between 2010 and 2013, UK special forces killed innocent and defenseless people, reportedly committing war crimes.
Authorities are investigating whether dozens of deaths were unlawfully carried out or covered up by the Royal Military Police.
Submissions have been filed on behalf of the relatives of thirty-three people, eight of whom were minors, who were allegedly killed by special forces.
Operation Northmoor and Operation Cestro, two RMP investigations, will be examined by the inquiry.
There have been no prosecutions from Operation Northmoor, a £10 million ($12.7 million) investigation that was started in 2014 to examine reports of special forces executions, including those of juveniles.
As a result of Operation Cestro, three soldiers were reported to the Service Prosecuting Authority; none of them were charged.
The independent probe was ordered by Ben Wallace, the UK defence secretary at the time, using the 2005 Inquiries Act.
