A young Muslim shot by police during a dawn terror raid on a suspected bomb factory in east London broke down today as he described the moment anti-terrorist officers stormed his house.

Mohammed Abdul Kahar, 23, choked back tears as he recalled the 4am raid.

Mr Kahar told a packed press conference how he was woken by the screams of his younger brother.

"From my room I could hear this screaming so I got out of bed," he said.

He said he was clad only in boxer shorts and a t-shirt.

"I assumed a robbery was happening," he said.

He told how he edged down the stairs before suddenly seeing a spark and hearing a big bang.

"I fell on the wall," he said. "I was on the floor, I looked at my chest and I saw bleeding coming down my chest and I saw the hole in my chest.

"At that moment I knew I was shot."

Speaking publicly about the controversial raid for the first time, he said as he lay on the stairs bleeding and fearing for his family he was kicked in the face by a police officer and told to "shut the f*** up."

Mr Kahar told how he put his hand over his chest and saw two officers walking towards him. He then described feeling the shotgun against his chest.

He said: "I was begging 'please, please, I cannot move'."

He claimed that as he pleaded with them, the officers told him to 'shut the f*** up, stay here, stay here'.

"At that moment I thought they were going to shoot me again or shoot my brother," he said.

"I heard them shouting 'secure the room'.

"At that moment I still did not know they were the police, they never said a word about the police."

Mr Kahar claimed he was grabbed and dragged down the stairs and then thrown on the pavement outside.

He added: "I just thought 'they're going to kill us'."

He told reporters he did not realise the raid was a police operation until he was lying on the street.

He also said he did not support terrorism.

"Violence is not in my nature. It's not in my religion," he said.

Abul Koyair, 20, who like his brother was shaven-headed with a beard, told the press conference the police raid had been "like a dream".

He recalled being woken up by an alarm which appeared to be coming from inside their house.

He said his elder brother emerged from his own bedroom and started going downstairs before suddenly being shot.

He said: "After that it was all quiet. No one said anything. I thought it was like a dream.

"After about one or two minutes I realised that this was not a dream. I realised that my own brother had got shot for no reason. They tried to murder my brother."

He then saw the police officers dragging his brother downstairs, hitting him as they went.

He said: "I kept thinking to myself, 'why didn't they shoot me instead?'."

He was taken outside, handcuffed and told to look at the ground.

He said: "At that time I kept saying to the officer, 'please tell me, is my brother ok? Is my brother ok?'.

"They told me, 'just shut up, don't say a word, look down on the floor'."

Mr Kahar said he was in great pain when he was taken to the hospital, adding: "It seemed like fire. I was burning."

He said he had pleaded with the doctor not to allow him to be taken away to be interviewed, but he had seen police officers asking the doctor to release him early.

He said while he was being interrogated officers repeatedly asked him if he was a member of an extremist group, including at one point the Ku Klux Klan.

His brother told the press conference that before the raid in Forest Gate, east London, he had applied to be a community police officer.

He said he no longer wanted to join the force after the events of June 2.
