Why The Brazilian Was Shot?This story
contains a clue:
"Three of the men we wish to trace all entered Stockwell underground station just before 12.25pm, last Thursday, 21st July 2005."Of course, Stockwell station is where the Brazilian was gunned down the following day. So in addition to the heavy coat and the jumping the turnstile, we have proximity to the location from which last Thursday's attempted attacks took place.
Mark Steyn is
not impressed with rationalizations for the police's behavior. He does raise one point that bothered me, but may be explained by the Stockwell connection. Why did the police allow the Brazilian to board a bus to Stockwell if they were concerned about him carrying a suicide bomb?

more on the Steyn column.
