Families of Dead UK Soldiers Threaten to Sue Blair

HeadlineMay 04, 2005

In Britain, the families of 10 soldiers killed in Iraq are threatening to sue Prime Minister Tony Blair for waging what they described as an illegal war and for lying to the public in the lead up to the invasion. The group — Military Families Against War — said they would seek a judicial review of Blair’s actions unless he agrees to a public inquiry into the legality of the war within the next two weeks. In addition the group announced it is filing a complaint with the International Criminal Court in The Hague over the use of cluster bombs by British forces in Iraq.
