There are some very interesting, albeit sketchy, reports that London police have shot and killed a bombing suspect.

Reportedly, the suspect had been under surveillance by authorities as a suspect in Wednesday's attempted bombing and was being tailed when he left his house. He was wearing a heavy overcoat in spite of the London temperatures being in the 70's.

Apparently, he jumped a barricade and ran toward a train stopped in the station. Police then chased him and shot him dead.

Reports indicate that the suspect was not carrying any explosives. No matter. Aside from the fact that Base10 would never second guess the London PD, it is likely that he did not know he was under surveillance and his actions today was a "dry run" to test security. In that case it would be ironic that he gets to meet Allah without even getting to blow any innocent civilians. No virgins in the afterlife for you!

Base10 will post some links when he gets to work.

UPDATE: Here are some links to the AP Story, CNN, Fox News, and ABC News. The facts still seem to be coming in.
