SAS allegations are a ‘stitch-up’: former Lieutenant Colonel

June 10, 2018 – 11:29AM

The Outsiders sat down with former Australian Special Forces Lieutenant Colonel Riccardo Bosi to talk about allegations that soldiers committed war crimes while operating in Afghanistan.

Fairfax Media reports a Special Air Service Regiment ‘rookie’ was pressured to execute an elderly unarmed detainee by high-ranking soldiers in 2009.

The accusation forms part of a confidential defence inquiry in which special forces insiders described unsanctioned and illegal violence exhibited in operations.
