Man Killed On Tube May Have Worn Bomb Belt. By bloggle From a BBC update: Another passenger on the train, Anthony Larkin, told BBC News the man had been wearing a "bomb belt with wires coming out". "I've seen these police officers shouting, 'Get down, get down!', and I've seen this guy who appears to have a bomb belt and wires coming out. "People were panicking and I heard shots being fired." Former Flying Squad officer, John O'Connor, told BBC News: "The man shot must either be one of the bombers or a potential suicide bomber." Bombers "don't always carry sports bags" and the man could easily have been wearing a bomb belt, he added. If he had been challenged by police and failed to stop they "have not got a lot of alternative", Mr O'Connor told BBC News. Officers would be trained to aim for the head as shots to the torso could trigger a hidden explosive device, he added. If this man was one of the July 7 bombers, his accomplices must know by now that he's dead. Either they're likely to run or even attempt another attack.
