Bombing Suspect Had No Bomb; Connected With Leeds Group. By bloggle The suspect shot yesterday by armed police (SAS maybe?) was found to have no bomb on his body. Alerted by the bulk of his jacket, police had followed the suspect on foot for some time and became concerned when he approached the Tube station. After the officers were ordered to stop him from entering the station at all costs, they challenged him before he crossed the main road to the station. When they drew their weapons and shouted “Stop, armed police”, the man looked over his shoulder and bolted. He was described as being very fit and agile. After the suspect had been shot police sent a robot to examine the man, because of fears that any device could still prove a danger. But it is understood that no device was found. Police are describing him as an “intimate accomplice of the cell”. His name and address were thought to have been found among the possessions left by the would-be bombers on Thursday. Police sources said he did not live at the address from which he had been followed. Another witness said that the suspect boarded the Tube and attempted to take a hostage before he was shot. I am not intimately involved with police/security work, but even to me it looks like the police acted exactly how I would want them to. The guy ran; he got shot. Turns out he was an accomplice.
