Families seek court inquiry into Iraq war
LONDON, Nov. 25 (UPI) -- Families of some British soldiers killed in Iraq have called on the High Court to support their fight for a public inquiry into the war.
They say they want to determine whether Prime Minister Tony Blair took the country to war "based on a series of lies," the London Independent said.
The families, expected to number about 20, say they believe the decision to go to war because Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction was "based on a series of lies" and was "an illegal act."
Rabinder Singh, representing the bereaved families, asked Justice Collins to grant permission for a ground-breaking legal challenge against a government refusal in May to hold an "effective, independent public inquiry."
The judge said he would rule later.
The British combat toll stands at 98.
