London's Metropolitan Police said Saturday the department has reviewed the use of deadly force against suspected terrorists after the killing of an innocent man, but has made only minor changes. The police also said they had offered a $26,950 payment to the family of the Brazilian man who was killed but stressed it "does not inhibit any future claim that the family may have against the Metropolitan Police Service."
 Separately, a newspaper reported that Scotland Yard believes it foiled a potential al-Qaida gas attack on British parliament. The plot to unleash deadly nerve gas sarin on Britain's House of Commons was hatched last year and uncovered through coded e-mails on computers seized from terror suspects in Britain and Pakistan, the Sunday Times newspaper said, citing an internal police document it obtained. Metropolitan Police refused to comment on the report.
