A man suspected of staging a terrorist attack that left a British soldier dead near a military barracks in London, was caught on camera clutching a meat cleaver and knife in hands apparently covered in the blood of his victim, as he justified the violence as part of a jihadist-inspired fight against the west.
The incident happened in broad daylight, 400 metres from the perimeter of the Royal Artillery barracks, in Woolwich, south-east London, sparking a terrorist alert that saw the government crisis committee Cobra convene in emergency session. Hours later, David Cameron described what had occurred as "an absolutely sickening attack".
Witnesses said a man was hacked at by two assailants with weapons including a machete in horrific scenes, carrying strong echoes of attacks abroad, at about 2.20pm. It is understood that the victim was a soldier, although neither his identity nor profession was confirmed last night.
The two men remained on the scene, until armed police arrived up to 20 minutes later. They were shot and apprehended by armed officers and taken to two separate hospitals where they were being treated for their injuries under armed guard in the aftermath of the first al-Qaida inspired attack to claim a life on British soil since the 7 July bombings in London in 2005.

I can think of a couple other people on threads today I’d like to introduce to our pointed friend.
Heh.
Something tells me that he’s already wet with anticipation.
Obama is probably going to offer the guy a pint and tell him he acted stupidly. Beer Summit II.
Meanwhile muzzles are rioting in Stockholm?
Don’t anybody jump to conclusions. We do not know why this was done. No doubt, Chris Mathews will shortly announce that a white guy probably did this.
And not a one of the us msm on the evening news could bring themselves to breath the word ‘Islam.’
Things have changed little since the murderous pedophile and Cult Leader left the scene.
That video was disgusting, and we had nothing to do with it.
We are going to bring those responsible for that video to justice.
I missed The Voice. I must have been watching coverage of tornadoes, destruction, and a totally out of control American government...
Oh and something about Jodi Arias shouldn’t be executed because there will be less wigs in the world if she is.
Someone please stop this train, I am ready to get off.
-alleged suspect-
I think that guy just worked at the butcher shop on the corner over there.
It just does not seem to me at this point that western civilization is going to survive its own dishonesty.
How many Brits now wish they had guns so they could shoot the bastards?
It’s time for the Brits to bring back capital punishment. If not hanging, then the guillotine would be perfect for these murderous bastards.
“Might just be the thing to get a real holy war going - just kidding. The Brits don’t have it in them anymore.”
Unfortunately, I think you are right.
Londonistan.
The Sun has set on the British Empire.
That’s called election fraud.
He should have been, as Neal Boortz would say, DRT (dead right there).
Instead, they will put them in jail (where they will be hero’s) where they will convert more criminals to their side.
People have a bad habit of writing the British off.
