An Australian spy who was found dead in the car park of army headquarters was allegedly planning to release classified information on alleged war crimes in Afghanistan.
The intelligence officer was claimed to be clutching a hard drive which detailed Australian soldiers’ behaviour while on tour when his body was found.
Data stored on the drive could reveal what really happened in Afghanistan, where Special Air Service troopers are accused of murdering 39 civilians and prisoners.
A source said the encrypted hard drive ‘would change a lot of the public stance and opinion on what went on in Afghanistan’ if it were made public.

The findings in the report determined Australian special forces had murdered 39 civilians and prisoners, including children, in Afghanistan
‘It is understood the intelligence officer was going to make the information public because the Brereton report is an erroneous one-sided witch- hunt against the SAS to try to appease the Afghanis,’ the source told The Sunday Telegraph.
The source said the footage contained on the hard drive could help put the war ‘into context’ following the release of the damning Brererton report in 2020 which horrified the public.
The findings in the report determined Australian special forces had murdered 39 civilians and prisoners, including children, in Afghanistan, which was then covered up by Australian Defence Force personnel.
The report stated some 25 Australians were involved in the killings – including some who were still serving when the redacted report was released to the public in November 2020.

Major General Paul Brereton’s chilling investigation found junior troops were allegedly ordered to execute Afghan detainees in a practice known as ‘blooding’, while weapons and evidence were planted on bodies to cover up unlawful deaths.
One incident was described in the report as the ‘most shameful episode in Australia’s military history’.
The unlawful killings were alleged to have happened between 2009 and 2013.
In the weeks to follow the document’s release, nine serving and retired members of the special forces took their own lives.
The officer, who has not been publicly named but worked for the Australian Secret Intelligence Service was found dead in the Russell complex in Canberra by colleagues on December 21, 2020.

Word quickly spread of his death before police shut down rumours and said it was not suspicious.
A former insider told the publication it was ‘unsurprising the intelligence community is being so evasive about the apparent suicide of one of its people’.
‘This is how they bury their mistakes,’ he said.
A Coroners Court could not confirm whether an inquest would be held into the man’s death.
A spokesman from the Australian Defence Force would also not comment on the matter.
