No change in shoot-to-kill policy

SENIOR British police officers last night insisted there would be no change to a controversial shoot-to-kill policy after an innocent man was gunned down.

Scotland Yard Commissioner Ian Blair apologised to the family of Brazilian electrician Jean Charles de Menezes, 27, in what was a major setback for anti-terrorist police.

But he refused to revoke officers’ licence to kill and admitted more people may die as a result.
