The man shot dead by police in Stockwell, south London, on Friday is not connected to the investigation into the attempted terror attacks in the capital.
Scotland Yard put out a statement saying, "We believe we now know the identity of the man shot at Stockwell Underground station by police, although he is still subject to formal identification.
"We are now satisfied that he was not connected with the incidents of Thursday 21st July 2005.
"For somebody to lose their life in such circumstances is a tragedy and one that the Metropolitan Police Service regrets."
Earlier, Metropolitan Police Commissioner Ian Blair said Friday's shooting was "directly linked to the ongoing and expanding anti-terrorist operation." He said that in confronting terrorism his officers faced "previously unknown threats and great danger."
Police have appealed to anyone at the scene to contact them.
