The families of dead Iraqis who claimed they were unlawfully killed by British soldiers a decade ago have dropped their claims after admitting there was "insufficient evidence." But they intend to pursue their claims of mistreatment.

The inquiry has been examining claims that UK soldiers murdered 20 or more Iraqis, and tortured detainees after the "Battle of Danny Boy" in Maysan Province, southern Iraq, in May 2004.
