THE sister of a British soldier killed in Iraq has challenged Tony Blair to meet the grieving families of service personnel who died in the unlawful conflict.

Sarah O’Connor, whose brother Sergeant Bob O’Connor was killed when his Hercules plane was shot down near Baghdad in 2005, accused the former prime minister of failing to “look [the families] in the eye” after the publication of the historic report into Britain’s involvement in the war.

Ms O’Connor, who has described Mr Blair as “the world’s worst terrorist,” hit out at his appearance before television cameras on Wednesday afternoon, in which he delivered a lengthy statement and took questions from journalists.
