LONDON (Reuters) - Home Secretary Jacqui Smith said on Wednesday police officers could face criminal probes if an inquiry into events that culminated in the death of a man during G20 demonstrations in London showed action was warranted.

Ian Tomlinson, 47, a newspaper seller, collapsed and died from a heart attack soon after the incident in a street by the Bank of England, shown in footage on the Guardian website (www.guardian.co.uk/).

The Liberal Democrats said the incident in the video was "sickening" and have called for a full criminal investigation. The Conservatives also said it was right that there should be an independent inquiry quickly.
