Re: British police kill suspect
Shot man not connected to bombing <br /> <br />Police cordoned off a 200-metre area around the station <br />A man shot dead by police hunting the bombers behind Thursday's London attacks was unconnected to the incidents, police have confirmed. <br />A Scotland Yard statement said the shooting was a "tragedy" which was regretted by the Metropolitan Police. <br /><br />The man was shot dead after police followed him from a south London flat to Stockwell Tube station on Friday. <br /><br />Two other men have been arrested and are being questioned after bombers targeted three Tube trains and a bus. <br /><br />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. <br /><br /> <br /><br /><br />Good response to CCTV plea<br />'They unloaded five bullets' <br /><br />"We are now satisfied that he was not connected with the incidents of Thursday 21st July 2005. <br /><br />"For somebody to lose their life in such circumstances is a tragedy and one that the Metropolitan Police Service regrets." <br /><br />The statement confirmed the man was followed by police from a block of flats that was under surveillance. <br /><br />His death is being investigated by officers from the MPS Directorate of Professional Standards, and will be referred to the Independent Police Complaints Commission. <br /><br />Arrests <br /><br />Two men are still being held at Paddington Green police station, central London, in connection with Thursday's attacks. <br /><br /><br />The first man was arrested at around 1630 BST on Friday during a raid on a block of flats near to Oval and Stockwell Tube stations. <br /><br />Eyewitnesses said he was led away with a woman and child. <br /><br />The second man was arrested late on Friday night, also in the Stockwell area. <br /><br />Both are being held under anti-terrorism legislation which gives police 14 days before they have to bring charges. <br /><br />Three devices found after the failed bombings were the same size and weight as those used in the suicide attacks of 7 July, which killed scores. <br /><br />The fourth was smaller, apparently contained in a plastic box. The same chemicals appear to have been used. <br /><br />They targeted Oval, Warren Street and Shepherd's Bush stations and a bus in Hackney
