Donating YT 3000 Club Member | Police hunting London bombers shoot man in station By Katherine Baldwin LONDON (Reuters) - Police shot a man dead at a London underground rail station on Friday during a hunt for bombers who struck two weeks after suicide attacks killed 52 rush-hour commuters. The latest round of bombs, at Thursday lunchtime, caused chaos but killed no one, in an apparently failed bid to repeat the July 7 attacks. Commuter Teri Godly told how she had stood next to the suspected suicide bomber on Friday morning before pandemonium erupted as armed police charged in. "A tall Asian guy, shaved head, slight beard, with a rucksack got in front of me. Shortly after that, as I was about to get onto the train, eight or nine undercover police with walkie talkies and handguns started screaming at everyone to 'get out, get out'," she told Sky News television. Witnesses spoke of panic as a man of Asian appearance wearing a heavy jacket vaulted over barriers at Stockwell station on Friday as he was chased, tackled then shot. "I've never seen anything like it in my life. I saw them kill a man basically. I saw them shoot a man five times," witness Mark Whitby told BBC television. "The other passengers were distraught. It was just mayhem, people were just getting off the Tube ... People running in all directions, looks of horror on their faces, screaming, a lot of screaming from women, absolute mayhem," he added. Media reports said the man shot was a suspected suicide bomber -- possibly one of the four on the run after Thursday's attacks. "We can confirm that just after 10 a.m. armed officers entered Stockwell Tube station. A man was challenged by officers and subsequently shot. London Ambulance Service attended the scene. He was pronounced dead at the scene," police said. Police cordoned off streets around the station and took witnesses away for questioning. Ben Anderson told of shouting and confusion before the shooting "People on the tube didn't know whether it was somebody with a gun, shooting, or the police. I didn't hear them identify themselves. I just heard the first shot, lots of screaming, and ran," he told BBC radio. |

| My husband is in London this week... He called me early yesterday, before the news broke here to tell me he was okay, and then called me again early this morning to say that they had shot a man in the subway who was running from the police. I guess the cops usually don't carry guns over there, but now have been told to shoot to kill... Has anyone seen the "we're not afraid" website. I guess it started with images from the first bombing a couple of weeks ago and has spread all over the world. Lots of pets and people 'flipping the bird'. Some are really creative. Worth a look! http://werenotafraid.com Just saw article above. They are moving fast!

Donating YT 3000 Club Member | Photos released of 4 sought in London attacks Appeal for public help comes hours afte r 5th man gunned down on subway BREAKING NEWS NBC News and news services Updated: 11:21 a.m. ET July 22, 2005 LONDON - Hours after chasing down and shooting to death one man on the subway, British police on Friday released photographs of four others suspected of launching Thursday's wave of terrorist attacks on London's transport system. Officials said the attacks bore definite similarities to the fatal bombings on July 7. The police photographs showed one man wearing a dark shirt with "New York" across the front running through a subway station. Another was shown on the top of a double-decker bus, while the other two men were shown at separate subway stations. Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Ian Blair told a news conference in central London that his force was facing its "greatest operational challenge ever" and that anti-terrorism officers were working around the clock. Blair was speaking hours after plainclothes police chased a man through a south London subway station, wrestled him to the floor and shot him to death. The man shot in the subway was "directly linked" to continuing antiterrorist operations, Blair said. Passengers said the man, described as South Asian, raised suspicion wearing a winter coat in the heat of summer. Most said he wore a backpack, according to Reuters, reminding many of images of the four suicide bombers behind both the July 7 and Thursday's attacks. Witnesses said he ran onto a train at Stockwell station, police chased him, he tripped, and police then shot him. "They pushed him onto the floor and unloaded five shots into him. He's dead," witness Mark Whitby told the British Broadcasting Corp. "He looked like a cornered fox. He looked petrified." Another witness spoke of the scene just outside the station. "I was about to go in when I saw a lot of people coming out. They looked shocked. There was a bit of panic. The guy I spoke to said, 'I've just seen someone shot'," said Andrew Wajnowski, 18, a part-time kitchen boy. "I saw three people shoot at an Asian guy who was wearing a rucksack," he quoted the other witness as saying http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8655541/ |
