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.

"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.

"I saw the gun being fired five times into the guy - he is dead," he said.

That is fucking gangsta.

(which british performer gets to pen his own '41 shots' when it turns out dude was late for his 9am meeting?)

He was Asian, Loog. He's clearly guilty.

of putting peepee in my Coke?

OH. By the by....

WHITE SOX!!

I'm waitin' for the good ole US of A to haul out that dude with the Ray Charles glasses and Santa Claus hat and stick him in that live billboard in Times Square...on fire.

i wish those administrators would read thread titles instead of just reading their stickies

I, for one, feel much safer now that the police are operating a shoot-to-kill policy on 'suspected' bombers.

And I knew red hair and pale skin would come in handy one day!

w00t!

Should not this thread be titled -

"London City Constabulary Has Mortally Wounded by Gunshot an Apparent Perpetrator of Botched Thursday Bombing"

I hope you don't have a similar incident when you are running to catch the train one day.

I make a point of never, under any circumstances, running for trains.

I'm definately a 'walking pace' kinda guy.

what would you do if some plain clothes people were chasing you with guns.

I'd probably run too.

I can't believe they caught him, and then filled him with lead point blank.

That's some cold blooded shit. If I was/looked arab and lived in the UK right now, I'd be scared.

i thought british cops didn't have guns. i also thought this is exactly WHY british cops don't have guns.

Then why was this half-wit the only individual in swinging London not to realize these were cops. Seems all of the eyewitnesses knew what the gig was from the get go.

Also looks like the Britfuzz knew exactly who this dude was. I'm shedding no tears over this dirtbag.

Sadly all to true. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/3974461.stm

typical irish-accented comment from our mod

damn, that's sad.

Surprise, surprise.

Shot man not connected to bombing

A man shot dead by police hunting the bombers behind Thursday's London attacks was unconnected to the incidents, police have confirmed.

A Scotland Yard statement said the shooting was a "tragedy" which was regretted by the Metropolitan Police.

The man was shot dead after police followed him from a south London flat to Stockwell Tube station on Friday.

Two other men have been arrested and are being questioned after bombers targeted three Tube trains and a bus.

The statement read: "We believe we now know the identity of the man shot at Stockwell Underground station by police on Friday 22nd July 2005, although he is still subject to formal identification.

"We are now satisfied that he was not connected with the incidents of Thursday 21st July 2005.

"For somebody to lose their life in such circumstances is a tragedy and one that the Metropolitan Police Service regrets."

The statement confirmed the man was followed by police from a block of flats that was under surveillance.

His death is being investigated by officers from the MPS Directorate of Professional Standards, and will be referred to the Independent Police Complaints Commission.
