Brazil says no cover-up in killing
www.chinaview.cn 2005-08-24 15:19:40

    BEIJING, Aug. 24 -- Brazil's ambassador to Britain has said he saw no evidence to suggest British police had tried to cover-up the killing of an innocent Brazilian they mistook for a would-be suicide bomber.

    Ambassador Mancel Gomes Pereira said that, at present, he and Brazilian investigators believed police who shot 27-year-old Jean Charles de Menezes on a London underground train a month ago had acted in good faith.

    The shooting -- and the way it was handled -- have caused intense embarrassment to British police at a time when they are still investigating last month's bombings and trying to prevent further attacks.

    Police apologized for the shooting, but de Menezes' family has accused them of lying.
