So if a T-shirt is enough to hide a bomb do you think police would be in their right to target any 'Asian looking' guy wearing a T-shirt? Wouldn't having a bomb that small mean a level of expertise that this gang had not shown previously?

Why not comment on the other points I raised like the fact that no positive identification was made onthe suspect? Or the fact that the radios didn't work underground? Or that the police allowed de Menezes name to be dragged through the mud instead of the police coming forward and giving the true fact? It is not acceptable that they put a grieving family through even greater sorrow by allowing the blame for the death to stay on the innocent deceased.

Poor Jean Charles went from being a "possible suspect" to being a "confirmed suspect with a bomb" in the course of 26 minutes and that changed in status seems to solely as a result of police communication problems not because of any behaviour of the suspect.

Please remember that this forum is not called Controversial Issues so let us not get heated here. There is an enquiry in process, until it is over we really don't know what happened.

It wasn't a case of targetting any Asian looking guy, a man came out of the block of flats which was under police surveilance, the man relieving himself was unable to operate a video camera. What was said is that it would be worth someone else having a look at him because the officer was unsure and wanted a second opinion as to whether it was the correct person.

Yes huge mistakes were made. An order was apparently made to tell them to take action if he ran, and he did run to catch his train.

I can't comment on the radios, that is the first I have heard about them not working.
