A report just reaching us, says, that a man believed to be a soldier was this afternoon(22/05/2013) beheaded by alleged terrorist in what appears to be a premeditated attack, near the Woolwich barracks in London.
Exclusive ITV footage shows that one man was filmed wielding a bloodied meat cleaver and saying: “We swear by almighty Allah we will never stop fighting you.”
He adds: “We must fight them as they fight us. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. I apologise that women have had to witness this today, but in our land our women have to see the same. You people will never be safe. Remove your government, they don’t care about you.”
Eye witnesses say, the soldier was attacked with knives and meat cleavers following a car crash. Two black men in a blue Vauxhall car rammed into the soldier on John Wilson Street, then jumped out of their car and started attacking him with meat cleavers.
The British Prime Minister, David Cameron, described the killing as “absolutely sickening… a most appalling crime” and asked the Home Secretary Theresa May to chair a meeting of Cobra, the Government’s emergency committee. He added: “We have had these sorts of attacks before in our country and we never buckle in the face of them.”
He is returning to London early from a meeting in Paris.
