POLICE shot dead a suspected suicide bomber on the London Underground last night, just 24 hours after a bungled second-wave attack on the British capital's transport system.

The man was shot five times by police at almost point-blank range after he jumped on to an open carriage at Stockwell station in south London.

A witness said the man had a bomb strapped to his body.

"He had a bomb belt with wires coming out," Anthony Larkin told BBC.

Stockwell is one stop south of Oval station, one of three Underground stops that were, together with a double-decker bus, the scenes of apparent would-be suicide bombing attacks on Thursday.
