The SAS has been accused of committing war crimes in Afghanistan. For the first time, special forces troops have broken their code of silence to tell Panorama what happened during night raid operations. The eyewitnesses say they saw injured people shot at point-blank range, unarmed people murdered in their sleep and the execution of handcuffed detainees, including children.
Reporter Richard Bilton investigates one of the darkest episodes in British military history and examines evidence that the military and the Ministry of Defence tried to cover it up.
