London police won't say whethe
LONDON (AP) - London's Metropolitan Police refused to comment Wednesday on a report that undercover officers used hollow-point ammunition to kill a Brazilian who was mistaken for a suicide bomber.
Jean Charles de Menezes, 27, was shot seven times in the head at an Underground station on July 22, a day after four failed bombing attempts against London's transport system.
The Daily Telegraph reported Wednesday that the officers who killed Menezes with seven shots to the head had hollow-point ammunition which expands on impact and causes massive damage.

Cop candidate didn't violate e
A Saskatchewan Party candidate who's also a Regina police officer and who was disciplined by the service earlier this year did not violate the party's code of conduct, the party said Friday.
Sgt. Christine Tell is running for a seat in the Regina Wascana Plains riding.
In May, she was suspended for three days over a six-year-old criminal background check — done on a police database — which she couldn't account for.
The case was related to the inquiry into a private investigation firm that was accused of improperly accessing government and police computer files.
The Sask. Party convened an ethics panel to see if there was a breach of its code of conduct. The panel decided that in the case of Tell, who has been a police officer for 28 years, there was no breach.
Tell admitted she was wrong in not being able to account for the computer check, but denies she passed any information to a private investigation company.
"There is no evidence of wrongdoing," Sask. Party Leader Brad Wall said Friday.
With an election call possible later this year, the case has been grist for Tell's political enemies.
Earlier this month, NDP MLA Kevin Yates suggested Tell had abused the public trust by inappropriately accessing police files.
He also criticized her for suggesting that someone who was "politically motivated" in the police department or Justice Department leaked news of her suspension to the media.
