Terror police 'did not check photo'

An anti-terror detective failed to check pictures which could have stopped police mistaking Jean Charles de Menezes for a suicide bomber, an inquest has heard.

Surveillance photographs of Hussain Osman on a 2004 camping trip in the Lake District were shown to a jury at the Oval cricket ground, south London, for the first time.

But the "Operation Ragstone" images were not examined after Osman launched a failed bomb attack in London on July 21 the following year. Instead, the inquest heard, officers relied on a gym card photograph and CCTV images before shooting dead the wrong man.
