'Shoot-to-kill' policy to remain
BBC News, Monday, 25 July, 2005, 01:25 GMT 02:25 UK
Police leaders say they will not abandon their "shoot-to-kill" policy and warn more innocent people could be killed in the fight against terrorism.
The message came after Brazilian electrician Jean Charles de Menezes, 27, was shot dead by officers after being mistaken for a suicide bomber.
Met Police Chief Sir Ian Blair said "shoot-to-kill in order to protect" would continue, despite the "tragedy".
Police are still questioning three men in connection with Thursday's attacks.
