London Copycat Bomber Shot Dead

British police killed a man, whom witnesses said look like a Pakistani, at Stockwell London Underground station today. He was believed to be one of the bombers who escaped after yesterday's attack.

Waiting passengers said police chased him, and shot him 5 time after he jumped over a security barrier at that station and attempted to board a stationary Tube train

An al Qaeda linked group, Abu Hafs al Masri Brigade, claimed responsibility for both series of the London bombings. Police haven’t confirmed the authenticity of the cliam.

The Brigade stated that they would not relent until the European governments leave the "land of the two rivers", referring to Iraq's Euphrates and Tigris rivers.
