POLICE SHOOT SUSPECTED SUICIDE BOMBER


Police have shot a suspected suicide bomber near a tube station in south London.

Marksmen opened fire near Stockwell Tube station as passengers were evacuated. It was not clear what the suspect's injuries were.


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."

Sky News Crime Correspondent Martin Brunt said: "There is no word on whether he has been killed or simply injured."

If the suspect is confirmed to be a suicide bomber, it would mark the fifth attempted terrorist attack on London in less than a day.

More to follow...

"POLICE SHOOT SUSPECTED SUICIDE BOMBER "

Good! Now the touchy feely PC system won't be able to make a martyr celebrity out of this scumbag in court. BTW, I know of a great swimming pool in Seattle they can float this terrorist perp out for a wake.

It's not always a good idea to shoot a suicide bomber. Death often causes the bomber's hand to release the trigger, which in turn ignites the bomb.
