The families of six UK military police killed by a mob in Iraq are ready to take legal action against the Ministry of Defence, the Daily Mirror reports.
It quotes the brother of one soldier as saying court action is the only way "to get the truth" from the MoD.

The relatives were said to be ready to sue the MoD for corporate manslaughter, claiming the deaths of the Red Caps last June were due to Army blunders.

An MoD spokesman said it had not received notice of legal action.

It is a sad reflection on the MOD that they feel they have to say very little in an attempt to cover up their mistakes and in some cases I feel lie.

These boys that have died for the causes they have fought for and their families deserve more....they deserve the truth.

The MOD should be transparent and put their hands up about mistakes they have made. not try to cover them up.
