Special Forces vetoed asylum applications of Afghan commandos, investigation finds
The sign for the Ministry of Defence in London
THE UK Special Forces (UKSF) rejected the resettlement applications of more than 2,000 Afghan commandos who fought alongside British troops against the Taliban, the BBC reported today.
The commandos, known as Triples, were in elite units called CF333 and ATF 444, which were set up and funded by UKSF.
After the Taliban claimed control of Afghanistan in 2021, Triples became eligible for resettlement in Britain.
