I'm all for the arrest and deportation of illegal immigrants, if that is what he was, though I've struggled to find any concrete evidence to back this up, right and left wing sites both claiming he was/wasn't, but public executions on the tube aren't really the answer, especially in the rush hour.
I actually felt sorry for the coppers who actually shot the guy, they were acting on info received, the whole point is if this chap had have been a terrorist and caused another atrocity on the Underground, there would have been holly hell to pay. The bottom line is the the info was flawed and an innocent life was lost and no matter how many enquiries they have had you can't turn the clock back and undo the wrongs
