Morrison in war-crime probe justice vow

Prime Minister Scott Morrison has vowed that allegations of war crimes committed by Australian soldiers in Afghanistan between 2005 and 2016 will be taken "very seriously". The Australian Defense Force on Thursday released the findings of a landmark four-year inquiry that found "credible evidence" of the special forces soldiers' murdering of 39 prisoners, farmers and other civilians during the war in Afghanistan. Morrison said the allegations would be pursued until "justice is indeed served".
