2005: Man shot dead by London police
A man has been shot dead by police at Stockwell underground station in south London - a day after four failed bomb attacks on the capital.
Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Ian Blair said the shooting was "directly linked" to the ongoing London bombs inquiry.
Yesterday's attempted bombings followed four explosions on 7 July in which 52 people died.
Officers said the man was shot after he was challenged and refused to obey an order.
Police have said it is not yet clear if the man they shot was one of four bombing suspects shown on newly released CCTV footage.
A second man arrested at a flat in the Stockwell area was being held under the Terrorism Act, Scotland Yard said.
He has been taken to Paddington Green police station in central London for questioning.
He is being held on suspicion of the preparation, instigation and commission of acts of terrorism.
