London police won't say whethe
LONDON (AP) - London's Metropolitan Police refused to comment Wednesday on a report that undercover officers used hollow-point ammunition to kill a Brazilian who was mistaken for a suicide bomber.
Jean Charles de Menezes, 27, was shot seven times in the head at an Underground station on July 22, a day after four failed bombing attempts against London's transport system.
The Daily Telegraph reported Wednesday that the officers who killed Menezes with seven shots to the head had hollow-point ammunition which expands on impact and causes massive damage.
Metropolitan Police refused to discuss the report, saying only that it has "a range of weaponry and ammunition, and we use the most appropriate based on the operational circumstances."
The Independent Police Complaints Commission, which is investigating the killing, had no comment.
Hollow-point ammunition was outlawed in warfare by the Hague Declaration of 1899. However, the Home Office confirmed that there is no law forbidding police from using the bullets.
