http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=1538&ncid=732&e=1&u=/afp/20050217/wl_uk_afp/iraqbritainsoldiersLONDON (AFP) - The families of six British soldiers killed in Iraq (news - web sites) in 2003 accused the army and a military enquiry commission of covering up "a catalogue of blunders" to protect the careers of some officers involved.
"The families feel we are the victims of a whitewash and a cover-up in order to protect the careers of certain individuals," Reg Keys told a press conference.
Keys's son, Lance Corporal Tom Keys, was one of six British military policemen killed in June 2003 in southern Iraq after being attacked by a mob.
The families charged that the military hierarchy did not provide the soldiers with enough ammunition to defend themselves.
