The cold blooded murder of Jean Charles de Menezes, in the
Stockwell underground was no accident. London Metropolitan Police
had approved a policy of "shoot to kill":
"a controversial tactic deployed only in the most extreme
circumstances but one police have been preparing to use for the last
two weeks.".
The shoot to kill policy was undertaken under the auspices
of "Operation Kratos", named after the mythical Spartan hero. It was
carried out by the London Metropolitan's elite SO19 firearms unit
often referred to as the Blue Berets. The latter are described as
the equivalent to the US SWAT teams, yet in this particular case,
they were not wearing uniforms.
The training of the S019 marksmen was patterned on that of Israel.
They had been briefed "by officers who had been to Israel to meet
their counterparts there and pick up tips gleaned from the
experience of dealing with Hamas bombers".
"During the Kratos briefings, the Met team were told that, contrary
to their normal arms training, they should fire at the head rather
than the chest. Although the chest is easier to hit, it is not as
reliable in causing instant death, giving a bomber a chance to
detonate his device.... "(The Scottish Daily Record, 23 July, 2005).
The "Israeli counterparts" refers to Israel's National Police
(INP), Shin Bet (the Israel Security Agency) and Israel's Ministry
of Internal Security. But the police antiterrorist operations
conducted by the INP against Hamas and Islamic Jihad are carried out
in close coordination with the Military (Israeli Defense Force) and
Mossad. Israel has also collaborated in the training of members of
the FBI and the LAPD. Top law enforcement officers of the FBI were
trained in Israel under a program sponsored by the The Jewish
Institute for National Security.

SO13: The Anti-terrorist Branch
Of significance in setting the antiterrorist policy under "Operation
Kratos" is the so-called SO13 or Antiterrorist Branch. .
The various special operations units including SO13, Special branch
and SO19 of the Met police are overseen by Andy Hayman, the recently
appointed assistant commissioner. The SO19 is one of several
entities under the jurisdiction of the Met police. (see below)
Once SO13 and Special Branch decided to carry out Operation Kratos,
specific guidelines were provided to SO19 to carry out the "shoot
to kill" agenda.
Essentially what we are dealing with is the formation of a death
squadron mentality under the auspices of what is stilled officially
considered a "civilian police force".
Despite the controversy surrounding the shoot-to-kill operations,
London mayor Ken Livingstone "had nothing but praise for the
police".
Rather than condemning the killing and calling for an investigation,
he casually laid the blamed for the death of Jean Charles de
Menezes on the terrorists:
"The police acted to do what they believed necessary to protect the
lives of the public... This tragedy has added another victim to the
toll of deaths for which the terrorists bear responsibility." (BBC,
23 July 2005)

{Invite (mankind, O Muhammad ) to the Way of your Lord (i.e. Islam) with wisdom (i.e. with the Divine Inspiration and the Qur'an) and fair preaching, and argue with them in a way that is better. Truly, your Lord knows best who has gone astray from His Path, and He is the Best Aware of those who are guided.}
(Holy Quran-16:125)
{And who is better in speech than he who [says: "My Lord is Allah (believes in His Oneness)," and then stands straight (acts upon His Order), and] invites (men) to Allah's (Islamic Monotheism), and does righteous deeds, and says: "I am one of the Muslims."} (Holy Quran-41:33)
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "By Allah, if Allah guides one person by you, it is better for you than the best types of camels." [al-Bukhaaree, Muslim]
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) also said, "Whoever calls to guidance will have a reward similar to the reward of the one who follows him, without the reward of either of them being lessened at all."
[Muslim, Ahmad, Aboo Daawood, an-Nasaa'ee, at-Tirmidhee, Ibn Maajah]
