Special Reconnaissance Regiment

Via Another Day in the Empire comes more news on Jean Charles de Menezes, executed on the tube a couple of weeks ago.

According to The Guardian, Mr de Menezes was may not have been killed by the Met's SO19 but by the a new army special forces regiment. This is an SAS trained unit set up in April to target terrorists operating in the UK. Restraint appears not to have been part of the training. The report is slightly confusing as, according to Whitehall sources

soldiers of the Special Reconnaisance Regiment, modelled on an undercover unit that operated in Northern Ireland, [were] engaged in "low-level intelligence behind the scenes" when the Brazilian was shot. There was "no direct military involvement in the shooting", the sources said.

So they were involved and they weren't "involved". Whodunnit then? And do you feel safer?
