Scotland Yard Commissioner Sir Ian Blair today admitted further people could be shot as detectives hunt down the would-be suicide bombers who tried to bring further carnage to London last week.

Why didn't Sir Ian Blair of Scotland Yard have his agents infiltrating radical Muslem groups years ago instead of having his policemen shoot a Brazilian electrician to make the public think the Yard isn't filled with a bunch of incompetents?

I think a lack of muslim police/intelligence officers has made this more difficult, so that certainly needs addressing.

Good question, although I suspect you know the answer. Ironically, "infiltration" was the excuse the Brits gave for giving terrorists safe haven in Britain. Instead of arresting them, they coddled them, so now innocent people will die in their stead.

Probably the for the same reason this country hasn't been able to have their agents infiltrate radical Muslim groups here. It's pretty difficult to do. First, you have to find Muslims that are willing to put themselves in that situation, and if you think it's hard to find a Muslim to speak out against the terrorists, try and find one who'll infiltrate and work as a spy. Look at the problems this country has had with Muslims in our military. Your suggestion is poor to say the least. And how do you know that the public as a whole thinks Scotland Yard is full of incompetents? That's only your feeling on the matter. It's doesn't make it so.

Why didn't this man STOP when ordered to do so? There is no doubt he heard the police or else he wouldn't have run. To bad he had to die but maybe his death will save the lives of other innocents who will think twice before running from the police.
