Episode 4
Have the police shot one of the bombers or made a big mistake? The rest remain at large as the police investigate every tip off. Dramatic arrests follow, and the survivors reflect.
Police believe they鈥檝e shot one of the would-be 21 July bombers on a tube train. But was he a terrorist or was he an innocent bystander? Witnesses say he leapt the ticket barriers, running away from police
At the scene, the dead man鈥檚 personal effects suggest he鈥檚 a Brazilian called Jean Charles de Menezes and not the bomber. Nobody tells commissioner Sir Ian Blair, who holds a press conference indicating they鈥檇 shot the right man.
A tip off leads police to the bomb factory, but the bombers aren鈥檛 there. When they finally locate a suspect, he outwits them. A desperate manhunt culminates in two armed encounters between police and the terrorists.
