Banned Hollow Point Bullets Killed Jean Charles de Menezes
Remember the Brazilian man shot seven times by London Police? It is being reported that 'Banned' Hollow Point Bullets were used.
Also of note, and of some degree of irony, in another story on this issue is in This Is South Wales. I can't link directly to the item, but it can be found (at least for now) on their National News Page, under the heading 'Tube Police Used Banned Bullets.
An item of note from that story:

An item of note from that story:
The suggestion that dumdum-style bullets could have been used was met with fury in some quarters. Massoud Shadjareh, of the Islamic Human Rights Commission, said: "This is outrageous. The use of this weapon is banned by all civilised police forces in the world. This quite clearly highlights that the Metropolitan Police Service is out of control."
