Australia announces new investigative agency to build criminal cases against Australian special forces suspected of committing war crimes in Afghanistan.

’s most highly-decorated member of the armed services when he left the SAS in 2013, has been accused of by former colleagues of unlawful treatment of prisoners including illegally killing prisoners. The former corporal, who was awarded the Victoria Cross and the Medal for Gallantry for his service in Afghanistan, has denied any misconduct.

“This report will be difficult news and all of our partners must be assured and those around the world who rightly hold the Australian Defense Forces in high regard,” Morrison told reporters. Police raided ABC Sydney headquarters with search warrants last year but prosecutors decided that charging the journalists would not be in the public interest.“These are incredibly complex events involving actions and conduct in another country, in a war,” Morrison said.

I am confused. First there was an investigation which was followed by an enquiry. Now there's another investigating agency investigating the enquiry into the original investigation? This seems like some kind of sham wasting tax payers money for as yet no results.

They could do that at home…against migrants..

Must be some Moe Davis people

Will they prosecute the politicians who sent them there.

By Allah you will be overpowered and driven to Hellfire insha Allah

McConnell says Trump's Afghan troop reduction will 'delight' U.S. enemiesSenate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell today slammed President Trump’s plan for a swift reduction of U.S. troop presence in Afghanistan, warning that it would be a gift to America’s enemies and would undermine progress already made in the region Trump's bruised ego will hold sway in any future decisions for America. It’s cool that at the end of the day, when Push comes to shove and someone of either party tries to end the endless wars, the leadership of both can come together to say “absolutely not, it will strengthen our enemies and undermine our progress”. Decades of bi-partisan agreement
