On 21 April 1996 UK television station Channel 4 broadcast a documentary about Royal Air Force bombing and shooting of civilians in Kurdistan, now part of Iraq, and in Waziristan, now part of Pakistan, in the 1920s and 1930s. This documentary, Birds of Death, interviews both RAF officers who carried out the attacks and their surviving victims still living in the areas that were bombed.
The documentary also mentions that British bombers were sent to Sudan, Egypt and Aden in the 1930s, although there are no interviews in those countries. It also examines the archives which amongst other things reveals censorship to prevent people in England understanding what was being done.
