Police at the scene in Forest Gate this morning. Road surrounding the incident have been sealed off
Man shot in early morning London anti-terror raid
By Philippe Naughton
One man was shot and another was arrested this morning when officers from Scotland Yard's anti-terror branch mounted a pre-dawn raid on a house in East London.
The Metropolitan Police said that officers wearing protective clothing cordoned off an area around Lansdown Road, Forest Gate, after executing a search warrant in "intelligence-led" operation starting at 4am.
No explanation was given as to why the protective clothing was needed but the Met said there was no reason to believe that members of the public in the immediate area were at risk.
Scotland Yard said: "During the operation, a man was shot by police and has been taken to a nearby hospital. The IPCC [Independent Police Complaints Commission] have been informed and the MPS will fully support any independent investigation.
"As part of the operation, a 23-year-old man was arrested by MPS anti-terrorist branch officers at the premises and is currently in custody at a Central London police station.
"Several people who were also present in the house at the time of the search have been moved to other premises. They have not been arrested."
The fact that the injured man had not been arrested provoked immediate speculation that he might have been shot in error. But a Scotland Yard spokesman said: "It implies nothing. If you have an injured man the first priority is to take them to hospital. You can't arrest a man who is not in a state to understand his rights."
Today's shooting is thought to be the first in an anti-terror operation since the death of the Brazilian Jean Charles de Menezes last year. Mr de Menezes was shot repeatedly in the head by specialist firearms officers at Stockwell Tube station on July 22 after being mistaken for a police officer.
An IPCC report into the shooting was handed to the Crown Prosecution Service earlier this year and a decision is expected this summer on whether any officers should face charges.
Three roads were cordoned off after the raid - Lansdown Road itself and the roads either side, Prestbury Road and Rothsay Road.
Scotland Yard said that this morning's raid followed "close liaison" with MI5, the Health Protection Agency, and the local authority but was not linked to the bomb attacks on London's Tube and bus network last July.
A Home Office spokesman said that John Reid, the Home Secretary, John Reid, had been kept fully informed of all developments since the operation began in the early hours.
