Suspect shot dead 'had no bomb'
ARMED undercover police chased and shot dead a man directly linked to the London bombers’ terror cell after he ran into a South London Underground station and tried to board a train
It is understood that he was found not to have been carrying a bomb.
Three officers had followed him to Stockwell station after he emerged from a nearby house that police believed to be connected with Thursday’s attempted bombings.

この新聞があの射殺された男を「ロンドン爆破テロに直接つながる」と断定しておいて「爆弾を持っていなかったと判ったことが知られている」などと書いています。記事の続きを読むと、殺した後で調べた結果爆弾を持っていなかったことがわかったそうですが、３人がかりで取り押さえたときに体を探ればすぐに解ったはずでしょう。しかも目撃者によると胴体を撃ったそうで。「爆破させる危険がある」と言うのなら取り押さえること自体がすでに危険だし、この男にしても逃げている最中にヤケクソで起爆させることだってできたはず。最初から知っていた、としか考えられないでしょう。
一方インディペンデント紙は、他に２名が拘束されたことを報道しています。そして昨日の射殺に対して『この爆弾犯人と言われる男の背後関係は明らかではなく、彼の死は武装警官が彼を撃ち殺したことに対する新たな議論を呼び起こしそうである。』と書く程度の良識は見られます。ただこのインディペンデントにしても「自殺攻撃」という言葉を使用しています。
またロンドン市警察コミッショナーのイアン・ブレア卿が『スコットランド・ヤードは、署員が「未知の脅威と非常な危険に直面しながら」その歴史上「最も偉大な作戦敢行」に携わったと語った。しかし彼は、警察の作戦は犯罪者に狙いをつけたものであり特定の共同体に向けたものではない、と述べた』ことを報道しています。よく言うよ。

Two suspects held after police kill man on Tube
By Terry Kirby, and Jason Bennetto
Published: 23 July 2005
Police today said they have arrested a second man in connection with the attempted attacks in London on Thursday. He was also arrested in Stockwell, where the other man was held yesterday - and where an Asian man was earlier shot dead by police as he tried to board a London Underground train.
Armed police pursued that man in Stockwell, south London, as part of an undercover operation, and he is believed to have links to the four men. He ran off when challenged, and they shot him, fearing he was about to detonate a bomb. Later, a man believed to be the Shoreditch bus bomber was arrested in the same area. He was led away wearing a white boiler suit.
The disclosure came as Scotland Yard released photographs of the four suspects, taken from closed-circuit television cameras at the three Underground stations and on a bus where the bombing attempts were made.
All the images showed young men of Asian appearance, and police warned people not to approach any of the men, who are now the targets of the most intense anti-terrorism investigation seen in Britain.
Security sources confirmed that the man who was pursued and killed in the morning during an undercover police operation at Stockwell Tube station was thought to be linked to the failed bombers.
The man, whose identity has not been released and who was not believed to be armed or carrying a bomb, was shot five times in the head on the floor of an Underground train. The extent of his connections with the alleged bombers is unclear and his death is expected to renew controversies about killings by police firearms officers. The Metropolitan Police has 31,000 officers and 3,000 are licensed to carry firearms.
The developments came as part of an extensive and fast-moving police inquiry being conducted as Londoners attempted to return to work amid widespread public fear of a further attack. Large parts of the Underground network remain out of action as a result of the attacks on 7 July and on Thursday.
Police have confirmed that the four bombs on Thursday at Oval, Shepherd's Bush and Warren Street stations and on the No 26 bus in Shoreditch had all only partly detonated. One, believed to be on the bus, was a nail-bomb in a rucksack, one of thousands of bags given away by the gym chain Fitness First. The three other bombs were of a similar size and contained similar explosives to the devices used by the four suicide bombers on 7 July, when they killed a total of 56 people, including themselves.
To underline the gravity of the situation, Sir Ian Blair, the Metropolitan Police Commissioner, said Scotland Yard was engaged in "the greatest operational challenge" in its history, with officers facing " previously unknown threats and great danger". But he stressed that the police operation was targeted at criminals and not a particular community.
Assistant Commissioner Andy Hayman said: "At this stage, it is believed the devices consisted of home-made explosives and were contained in dark-coloured bags or rucksacks. It is too early to tell how these were detonated."
The shooting at Stockwell Tube station followed intensive overnight police activity resulting from the "forensic goldmine" of the four unexploded bombs. From this, police obtained three addresses, in Stockwell and Brixton, south London, and at west Kilburn, which were put under observation.
Shortly before 10am, a man left the premises in Stockwell and was followed by surveillance officers. He got on a bus and headed towards the nearby Tube station. Fearing he was going to enter the Tube, officers called in an elite unit of specialist firearms officers to make an armed arrest before he entered the station. At this point, witnesses said, the man vaulted a barrier in the Tube station and ran down the escalators and on to a northbound Northern line train, pursued by police.
Mark Whitby, who was on the train, said he heard people shouting, "Get down, get down!" He described how an "Asian guy" ran on to the train pursued by three plainclothes police officers. "He tripped and was also pushed to the floor and one of the officers shot him five times, " he said.
Although other witnesses said the man was wearing a bulky coat "with wires sticking out of it", there was no indication last night that he had been carrying a bomb.
The shooting led to the area being cordoned off and the temporary closure of the Victoria and Northern lines.
The man arrested in South Lambeth, near Stockwell, was thought to be the son-in-law of an older woman living at an address raided by police. The arrested man's wife and young son were also led away by police, according to residents living in the same block of flats.
David Benn-Hirsch, deputy chairman of the local tenants' association, said the older woman had lived in the flat with her family for many years. He said they were Muslims originally from Ethiopia. He added: "I know them as peaceful neighbours and I'm shocked to hear about what has happened."
In further operations last night, addresses in the Harrow Road area of north-west London and Brixton in south London were raided.
