"It's vital the police give a statement about what occurred and explain why the man was shot dead."

The rest of the sentence was: "... so we can know how not to tip off police to our intentions to blow up innocent people in the future."

So... does he STILL get the virgins?

Honest truth, some say the virgins bit is mistranslated and it's actually RASINS.

Really. All those bystanders and they just let them walk away? I realize the situation must have been chaotic, but found this really disturbing.

Actually, I heard witnesses this morning from London who said that after the guy through the backpack into the train yesterday, everyone shouted to stop him as he ran and several people gave chase but he got away. It was not my impression that everyone just sat around.

Not exactly...he gets 72 women who look exactly like Helen Thomas and Hillary Clinton.

I have heard several people on here have said that, but I have not seen a single source confirm it.

Do you have a link?

Coflicting reports? The police said before they found NO EXPLOSIVES on the guy?

Maybe the wires and the bomb belt were just PART of the bomb, and somebody else had the explosive component? That's what I'm wondering about this NYC bag-search thing....I hope they're prepared to search for "components" and not just assembled bombs. I mean, didn't McGyver on TV once make a bomb out of a tampon and some lipstick?

Sounds like a good kill, but would have been better if they got him alive.

True enough -- but if he's dead, he can't pull the bomb trigger.

I think if I were a salamikaze bomb-maker, I'd probably be working on a dead-man switch for cases just like this one. Or maybe a remote detonator (requires an observer nearby).

That may well be one of the things we have to accept. War is Hell so we'd better get on with it & win it as quickly as we can.

The Muslim Council of Britain said Muslims were concerned about a possible "shoot to kill" policy.

Seesh, Muslims. Shakes head.

Becasue that is standard operating procedure. Whine and moan about mistreatment so the liberal establishment will fawn over you. Facts and truth are irrelevant.
