The decision has outraged the families of troops killed in Iraq who blame Blair for engineering the war. Matthew Jury, managing partner of McCue & Partners, lawyers for the families of British soldiers killed in Iraq, said: “It’s a little premature to be talking about prosecutions. LONDON — Prosecutors at the International Criminal Court will examine Britain’s Chilcot report for evidence of abuse and torture by British soldiers, but have already ruled out putting Tony Blair on trial for war crimes. It means individual soldiers could be prosecuted for war crimes but not Blair. They don’t call him Teflon Tony for nothing.”The Chilcot report is expected to say Blair’s government misled the public over the presence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq before going to war.
