Woolwich attack: meat cleaver, knife and jihadist claims filmed on mobile

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.

No one has said anything along this line so far but I saw the guy running his mouth and acting out. I hope the Britz checked him blood chemistry because I think he was high as a kite. We’ve seen this all over Asia, Africa, and Indonesia where the natives get loaded up on the local crack then go do battle. This first guy was known for mouth-shooting but didn’t have the guts to start a fight until he toked up.——looks to me anyway.

“People have a bad habit of writing the British off.”

There was a time when what you say was accurate. Sadly, the roar of the British lion is more of a meow these days.

Oh, I have the greatest respect for the British military, as they are terrific warriors. The problem with Britain — and much of the West, including the United States — is that the insanity of modern liberalism (which champions all manner of frauds and perversions and idiocies), which it has happily embraced, has emasculated and feminized an overly large segment of its citizenry, and has become all too willing to embrace the means of its own suicide, all in an insane desire “to be liked.”
