Soldier's Families Press For Inquiry

The Grauniad reports that

Relatives of soldiers killed during the Iraq war and its aftermath today launched legal proceedings in a bid to secure an independent inquiry into the legality of the conflict.
An action brought by 17 families who have lost loved ones formally began with the lodging of papers at the high court in London.

They hope that a hearing, during which they will be seeking a judicial review of the government's refusal in May to order an inquiry, will be held within the next six months.


Expect a lot more of this to come. The families are not going to be kept silent.
