UK Police Accused Of Supplying Target Information For Military 'Kill List' -- The Guardian
Court case – launched following mistaken identity in Afghan attack – to hear claim that Soca helped to compile list for Nato.
British police have been accused of illegally supplying information on potential targets for a highly controversial military "kill list" in a legal challenge being launched at the high court on Wednesday.
The role of the UK's Serious and Organised Crime Agency (Soca) has been put under the spotlight by the claims, which are set out in papers to be filed on Wednesday morning.
Lawyers acting for an Afghan man who lost five members of his family in a missile strike are demanding a judicial review of Soca's role, saying there is evidence the agency has been helping compile and review Nato's Joint Prioritised Effects List (JPEL).
They say this breaches Soca's remit and exceeds the unit's statutory mandate and powers.

My Comment: If these allegations are true .... it would not only imply that senior British officials are involved in the assassination of British subjects abroad by providing all of the necessary targeting information for someone else (in this case a NATO strike force in Afghanistan) to commit the act of killing the target .... but it would also raise questions on what other intel and information is being used and traded among NATO states in a war-zone like Afghanistan.
