'Cover-up' fears over Iraq deaths

Some of the relatives of six British soldiers killed as they defended a police station in Iraq fear a cover-up in the inquiry into their deaths.

Families of the Red Caps who died have criticised the Ministry of Defence (MoD) for its handling of the investigation.

They claim it was taking too long and could last up to three years.

The military police officers who died at Al Majar Al-Kabir, near Basra, were members of the 156 Provo Company attached to 16 Air Assault Brigade, based in Colchester.
