London - A Brazilian man shot by British police in July in the mistaken belief that he was a terrorist was killed with a type of bullet banned in warfare under international convention, The Daily Telegraph newspaper reported Wednesday.
The firing of hollow point ammunition into the head of Jean Charles de Menezes, at a London Underground (tube) station on July 22, was believed to have been the first use of the bullets by British police, the report said.

The bullets are descendants of the expanding 'dum dum' ammunition created by the British in an arsenal of the same name near Calcutta, in India, at the end of the 19th century and outlawed under the Hague Declaration of 1899.
