    Suicide bomber shot in London

    Man shot by armed police on Tube

    A man has been shot at Stockwell Tube station by armed police officers, police confirm.
    Passengers were evacuated from a Tube train on the Northern Line station in south London after the incident.

    Passenger Mark Whitby told BBC News he had seen an Asian man shot five times by "plain-clothes police officers".

    Services on the Victoria and Northern lines have been suspended following a request by the police, London Underground said.

    Police are hunting four would-be bombers after Thursday's London blasts.

    The bombers fled after detonators went off, causing small blasts, but failed to detonate the bombs themselves.

    Mr Whitby, told BBC News: "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."

    Passenger Briony Coetsee said: "We were on the Tube and then we suddenly heard someone say, 'Get out, get out' and then we heard gunshots."

    Serves the mother fucker right!!

    So let me get this right, they pushed to the ground, got on top of him, and then shot him? That has to be illegal. Unless im reading this wrong, it seems like they had the suspect, and someone was on him restraining him, no need to shoot him at that point. He should have been entitled to a trial, no?

    well it is a witness account so you know. theres a large margin for discrepency cuz i'm sure once he's been pinned. even if he was shot 5 shots is a bit much.

    Maybe they shot him in the head to prevent him from detonating his bomb.
    Just a thought. He was a suicide bomber, he planned on dying anyways, j/k

    He fought back, and he was shot. Theyre prepared to die.

    He was being followed by undercover officers in relation to yesterdays bombings.

    But Im sure they identified themselves as police....

    "The man -- whose identity has not been released -- on Friday emerged from a south London apartment building that had been under surveillance as part of the investigation into the attempted bombings Thursday.

    Officers followed him to the Stockwell Underground station. The man's "clothing and suspicious behavior at the station added to their suspicions," a police statement said.

    He challenged police and refused to obey orders, before he was shot and killed Friday morning, Blair said Friday."

    If the police hadnt shot him, and he detonated a bomb killing lots of people, the public would have bitched about how the police didnt do enough. I hope the London public give the metro police some leeway with this....police shootings are very rare in London.

    Here's my take. So he wasn't involved......oops. The guys a fuckin moron for acting suspicious, wearing a winter coat in summer, then running from the cops and into a subway car. I think darwin did his job in this case.

    agreed. hehe besides... i like to see a good clear msg sent like this to those bastards... honestly if you're doing nothing wrong... just surrender and sort it out later - the only reason to run would be if you're up to no good or have something to run from...
