BBC reports this morning:

A man has been shot dead by armed officers at Stockwell Tube station, as police hunt four would-be bombers.

Passenger Mark Whitby told BBC News he had seen a man of Asian appearance shot five times by “plain-clothes police officers” with a handgun.

“I saw the gun being fired five times into the guy - he is dead,” he said.

Passengers were evacuated from the Northern Line station in south London. The incident followed four attempted bombings in the capital on Thursday.

Athena at Terrorism Unveiled has more detailed analysis on who might be responsible, and notes that “Asian” could refer to “Pakistani” in Britain.
