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.

Soon after the first bomber walks in to a child care center and blows it's self up.

Police snipers track al-Qaeda suspects

UNDERCOVER police sniper squads are tracking as many as a dozen Al-Qaeda suspects because security services fear they could be planning more suicide attacks, writes David Leppard.

The covert armed units are under orders to shoot to kill if surveillance suggests that a terror suspect is carrying a bomb and he refuses to surrender if challenged.

Tried to shoot him in the central nervous system. Shot him in the head.

That's pretty central! Congrats to the Metropolitan Police on their excellent aim!

[dandelion]

Prayers for our brave Brits... this is so tough on all of us. Be strong!

[Larry Lucido]

Tried to shoot him in the central nervous system. Shot him in the head.

Well, that's one way to the central nervous system. Good shot.

CNBC: Passengers evacuated at Stockwell

[Terpfen]

Sounds good to me.

[winner3000]

They must have shot a warning shot...into his head!

[Allegra]

Indications is that the suspect is dead.

Sincerely hoping this is true.

Steve walks warily down the street,
With the brim pulled way down low
Ain't no sound but the sound of his feet,
Machine guns ready to go
Are you ready, Are you ready for this
Are you hanging on the edge of your seat
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
To the sound of the beat
Chorus

Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
And another one gone, and another one gone
Another one bites the dust
Hey, I'm gonna get you too
Another one bites the dust

How do you think I'm going to get along,
Without you, when you're gone
You took me for everything that I had,
And kicked me out on my own

Are you happy, are you satisfied
How long can you stand the heat
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
To the sound of the beat
Chorus


Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
There are plenty of ways you can hurt a man
And bring him to the ground
You can beat him
You can cheat him
You can treat him bad and leave him
When he's down
But I'm ready, yes I'm ready for you
I'm standing on my own two feet
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
Repeating the sound of the beat

Reuters: Two London Underground train lines suspended.

Another breaking news from AP is that an Al Qaeda related group has claimed yesterdays attack.

UNDERCOVER police sniper squads are tracking as many as a dozen Al-Qaeda suspects because security services fear they could be planning more suicide attacks, writes David Leppard.

Here, the ACLU would be joining with CAIR to demand that undercover units chase grandmas too because otherwise it would be profiling.

[cooper72]

Witness on news said "Pakistani looking guy" was chased on to the tube train, he tripped and the police got him down and shot him five times.

"Will the Brits get over their love affair with islamic fundamentalists after this? Probably not"

It's not so much a love of islamic fundamentalists. As it is a love and even a need for political correctness.
I do not mean my postings as a bashing of the English people what so ever.

[clee1]

Most aren't - a few do.

[mark3681]

We can only hope. Hell, they can't even carry around baseball bats (or, is it crickett bats, paddles, whatever they're called).

[furquhart]

Crap. They've been doing these things in clusters.

Prayers for London.

Stuff some bacon into the dead Paki's mouth, sew it shut and feed him to the pigs.
