Your story never reached any serious reporting, it originated from your first link with this hard hitting claim of “I understand that the commanding general of the 82nd Airborne Division has told”, and now you link to the Mirror saying “A controversial American media report said a US officer told British special forces”.

“The reports were backed up by a UK special forces source back in the UK who spoke to the Daily Mirror over the weekend.”
