Britain to launch two new Afghan war investigations
None
Two new inquiries will examine Britain's role in the Afghanistan war, a parliamentary body said on Wednesday after leaked US military documents cast a new light on civilian casualties.
Parliament's defence committee said issues it would look at in the first inquiry include the justification for Britain's continued participation in the nine-year war, the reporting of civilian casualties and the timetable for withdrawal. The second inquiry will examine the context for a political settlement in Afghanistan, it said in a statement. (Reuters)
