Apparently, they were just smuggled in. A few were found in cars, and another was on a bus, like before. Lucky they didn't go off.

I'd seen on Fox News that the original four bombers, who set off the most-destructive first batch of bombs, weren't told that this was going to be a suicide mission. They'd all bought round-trip tickets and were planning on leaving the country after setting off the bombs. They apparently thought that they could pull the detonating device, and then have enough time to get off the buses or train cars before the things went off, but that wasn't the case. Again, shows just how these terrorist groups are willing to take advantage of anyone, even those people who support them, for their own "gains".
I feel really bad about the Brazilian guy who got shot, though. He was an innocent individual who just happened to make a bad fashion decision at a really bad time. Still, I can't say I blame the police in London for having itchy trigger fingers at a time like this.

Yeah, and the police said that if the same situation was to arise again, they'd react in the same way- it's too much of a risk to leave even someone who's just suspected of being a terrorist.

It's up to the person who's suspected of being a terrorist not to act like one in the first place, I guess.

What was he wearing to make the police shoot him?

Poor guy. Perhaps that was a warning for anyone who might make the same mistake.

Still, I can't say I blame the police in London for having itchy trigger fingers at a time like this. Woah, I haven't heard about this yet! Who was this guy? What was he wearing to make the police shoot him? He was a Brazilian citizen who was wearing this big, heavy trenchcoat, which is unusual for this time of year. Apparently, when the police tried to question him, after becoming suspicious of the heavy coat, he just took off running, for some reason, so they naturally assumed that he was had something hidden under the coat that he really didn't want them to find. They gave chase, he refused to stop, he tried to escape by jumping on a subway train, but tripped and fell as he got in the door. The police caught up with him before he could get up and just shot him, several times, at point-blank range. I don't think anyone knows why he had on that big, heavy coat, or why he ran from the police, if he had nothing to hide. I guess they assumed he had a bomb under the coat, which he could set off with a single touch, so they couldn't take any chances of him doing that and shot him. pitbulllady

According to friends, the reason he ran was because 'they were playing a game of tag in the streets', but others have suspected that he thought he was being stalked and, because of the growing crime rate in London, he panicked and ran.
