LONDON, Jan. 29 (Xinhuanet) -- An inquiry into the police mistakenshooting of an innocent Brazilian man has concluded that some of the officers involved misreported what had happened in a bid to evade blame for the incident, British media reported at the weekend.

    Jean Charles de Menezes, 27, was killed in a south London underground station when he was mistaken for a suicide bomber on July 22. The Brazilian electrician was shot seven times in the head by armed anti-terror officers.

    Results of the inquiry by the Independent Police Complaints Commission have not been released. But Sky News TV and the News ofthe World newspaper reported on Saturday and Sunday respectively that the inquiry has concluded that one division of the police involved filed a false log report about the shooting in an effort to escape blame.

    The Special Branch surveillance police team first wrote in its log that it had informed the police involved in the shooting that they were chasing Hussein Osman, one of the suspected failed suicide bombers on July 21, Sky News and News of the World said.

    But the Special Branch later altered that log to say it had informed the police on the ground that it didn't know who they were chasing, the TV station and the newspaper said.

    The wrongful shooting occurred one day after abortive bombings in London and two weeks after 52 innocent people were killed in suicide bombings in three underground stations and one double-decker bus. Enditem
