Two men released without charge after an anti-terror raid in east London are to take legal action, it is reported.
Abul Koyair, 20, and his brother Mohammed Abdul Kahar, 23, who was shot, will sue the Met, their solicitor Gareth Peirce told the Observer.
Other papers speculate the pair, from Forest Gate, could claim up to £500,000 in damages for their ordeal.
The police have defended their tactics as the Independent Police Complaints Commission investigates the shooting.
Meanwhile Muslim groups are to protest on Sunday against the raid's "heavy-handed" approach.
The men, who had been held for a week under the Terrorism Act 2000 and questioned on suspicion of terrorism involvement, were released without charge on Friday after police found no trace of a chemical device at their home.
The pair had been arrested after a raid by some 250 officers on a terraced house in Lansdown Road, Forest Gate.
