68. "critical head shot … prior to challenge"
Guidelines issued since the September 11 attacks emphasise that police must not to challenge suicide bombers or identify themselves for fear of prompting the bomber to detonate his device. Instead, they may fire a "critical head shot … prior to challenge".

Nothing new, but it's still only speculation till the BBC pronounce otherwise, of course.
