No UK troops above law, PM Boris Johnson says after claims about SAS killings in Afghanistan
The MoD said British forces "served with courage and professionalism" in Afghanistan and were held to the "highest standards"
He said ministers did not comment on special forces - but that this did not mean the claims were accepted as fact. During Prime Minister's Questions, SNP defence spokesman Stewart Malcolm McDonald said when the subject of unlawful killings by British forces had come up in the past the government and Ministry of Defence had been "determined to sweep this under the carpet".Mr Johnson replied that it was "long-standing practice" not to comment on special forces and said this did not mean he accepted the factual accuracy of the claims.
