Reproduced below are excerpts of an article on the KMS’ involvement in Sri Lanka during the early years of the war. The article by Phil Miller, author of ‘Keenie Meenie: The British Mercenaries Who Got Away With War Crimes’ was published in the Declassified UK website.
On a warm day in late spring 2018, a sleepy village in the English countryside was about to be disturbed by my team of investigative journalists. We were poised to interview Lieutenant Colonel Brian Baty, a reclusive former mercenary who we had tracked down to the village of Kings Pyon, a stone’s throw from the Special Air Service (SAS) base at Credenhill, Herefordshire.

Britain's mercenaries in Sri Lanka

A documentary by Phil Miller and Lou MacNamara
Yardstick Films 2020
Length: 54 minutes
A new documentary by Phil Miller and Lou MacNamara shows how British mercenary company Keenie Meenie Services (KMS) trained the Special Task Force (STF), a notoriously violent Sri Lankan paramilitary force responsible for the torture and murder of Tamil civilians. On one occasion, in 1987, the STF massacred 85 civilians.
KMS pilots also flew helicopter gunships which bombed Tamil villages and machine-gunned Tamil civilians.
The company recruited former British special forces personnel and acted with the support and approval of the British government. However the fact that KMS was a private company helped the British government to hide its role in the war. The filmmakers call this "plausible deniability".
