Britain, soldiers who fought in the Iraq War may face prosecution for war crimes alleged abuses. According to the head of a unit investigating, Mark Warwick said there were lots of significant cases and that discussions would be held over whether they met a war crimes threshold. Lawyers are continuing to refer alleged abuse by soldiers to the Iraq Historic Allegations Team.
Ministry of Defence said it took such allegations extremely seriously. Two public inquiries have already looked at claims against UK troops in Iraq. The inquiry has considered at least 1,515 possible victims, of whom 280 are alleged to have been unlawfully killed.
