they are now saying that the man shot dead was one of the 4 suspects from yesterdays attempted sucide bomb attactks - the police must have been tracking him down and if true,then a big fuckin well done to the london police,not only for finding him in a city with a population of 10 million but also for shooting the fucker dead

Man shot dead by police on Tube A man has been shot dead by armed officers at Stockwell Tube station, as police hunt four would-be bombers. Passenger Mark Whitby told BBC News he had seen a man of Asian appearance shot five times by "plain-clothes police officers" with a handgun.
"I saw the gun being fired five times into the guy - he is dead," he said.
Passengers were evacuated from the Northern Line station in south London. The incident followed four attempted bombings in the capital on Thursday.
They pushed him to the floor, bundled on top of him and unloaded five shots into him Witness Mark Whitby
Police have cordoned off a 200-metre area around Stockwell station.
Services on the Victoria and Northern lines were suspended following a request by the police.
Ambulances, including an air ambulance, have been sent to the scene at Stockwell.
Mr Whitby, told BBC News: "I was sitting on the train reading my paper.
"I heard a load of noise, people saying, 'Get out, get down!'
"I saw an Asian guy run onto the train hotly pursued by three plain-clothes police officers.
'Bomb belt'
"One of them was carrying a black handgun - it looked like an automatic - they pushed him to the floor, bundled on top of him and unloaded five shots into him."
BBC Home affairs correspondent Margaret Gilmore said officers had challenged a known suspect they had been following.
"He ran, they followed him. They say they gave him a warning, they then shot him.
"They brought in the air ambulance. They did everything they can to revive him. He died at the scene."
Police had warned they would shoot to kill if they believed somebody to be a threat, she added.
It's vital the police give a statement about what occurred and explain why the man was shot dead Muslim Council of Britain
The Muslim Council of Britain said Muslims were concerned about a possible "shoot to kill" policy.
Spokesman Inayat Bunglawala said "There may well be reasons why the police felt it necessary to unload five shots into the man and shoot him dead, but they need to make those reasons clear.
"It's vital the police give a statement about what occurred and explain why the man was shot dead."
Another passenger on the train, Anthony Larkin, told BBC News the man had been wearing a "bomb belt with wires coming out".
"I've seen these police officers shouting, 'Get down, get down!', and I've seen this guy who appears to have a bomb belt and wires coming out.
"People were panicking and I heard shots being fired."
The man burst in through the door to my right and grabbed hold of the pole and a person by the glass partition near the door Passenger Dan Copeland
Former Flying Squad officer, John O'Connor, told BBC News: "The man shot must either be one of the bombers or a potential suicide bomber."
Bombers "don't always carry sports bags" and the man could easily have been wearing a bomb belt, he added.
If he had been challenged by police and failed to stop they "have not got a lot of alternative", Mr O'Connor told BBC News.
Officers would be trained to aim for the head as shots to the torso could trigger a hidden explosive device, he added.
Londoner Dan Copeland was in the carriage in which the man was shot.
He told BBC News: "We were sitting for a few minutes on the platform, then we heard shouting from the concourse between the two platforms.
'Dull bangs'
"Then the man burst in through the door to my right and grabbed hold of the pole and a person by the glass partition near the door, diagonally opposite me.
"An officer jumped on the door to my left and screamed, 'Everybody out!'
"People just froze in their seats cowering for a few seconds and then leapt up.
"As I turned out the door onto the platform, I heard four dull bangs.
"I ran past an armed officer who was standing on the platform and ran up the stairs."
The worrying thing is the proximity of this person, assuming he was linked with the cells and with what was going on, to a mode of public transport, to the Tube station Tooting MP, Sadiq Khan
After Thursday's London blasts, the bombers fled when detonators went off, causing small blasts, but failed to detonate the bombs themselves.
A massive hunt is under way for the men. Analysts believe evidence from the four scenes - at Oval, Shepherd's Bush, Warren Street and on a bus in Shoreditch in east London - could throw light onto the bomb attacks carried out on 7 July.
On Thursday, it is thought detonators went off, causing small blasts, but failed to detonate the bombs themselves.
The attempted attacks caused travel chaos across the capital, with several lines closed and Tube stations evacuated.
Scotland Yard commissioner Sir Ian Blair said the attacks had been intended to kill people.

but they say he was directly linked to terrorism - he was warned twice to stop or he would be shot dead - he chose not and ran off - his hard luck

Well what fucking idiot would run away from ARMED police, when they've called for him to stop?!?!
Plus, he must have done something wrong, even if it wasn't to do with the bombing cus he ran!
And the police had to make a very important decision quickly, shoot the man and keep the train full of passengers safe, or risk having him blow up the train with innocent lives taken and then shoot him (if he wasn't suicide).
The police are in a lose-lose situation.

was innocent, poor bloke, hope the english establiment dont start pullin the same tricks they pulled with the guildford 4 dont come of with that fuckin crap - totally different situation - anyway if they had shot the giulford4 and the birmingham 6 etc,etc then we would be none the wiser. the britsh goverment now want to start dealing with terrorist or suspected terrorist the same way the israelis deal with it - shoot to kill - no question asked just remember this bloke was challeanged twice to stop,he chose to run,why? if he was innocent then he should have stopped - so the police acted correctly
