A man has been killed in a machete
attack in south-east London. The Met Police said a murder inquiry was
being led by its Counter Terrorism Command.
Prime Minister David Cameron said the UK
would “never buckle” in the face of terror attacks. Footage has emerged
showing a man wielding a bloodied meat cleaver and making political
statements. Police confirmed two men had been arrested in connection
with the murder.
There are unconfirmed reports that the
dead man was a soldier. Both French President Francois Hollande and MP
Nick Raynsford said the dead man had been a soldier at Woolwich
barracks.
The footage shown on the ITV website
shows a man, speaking to the camera, saying: “We must fight them as they
fight us. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.” He added: “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.”
They first hit the man, thought to be a
British soldier, with a car in broad daylight. Then the two attackers
hacked him to death and dumped his body in the middle of a southeastern
London road.
“We swear by almighty Allah we will
never stop fighting you until you leave us alone,” said a
meat-cleaver-wielding man with bloody hands, speaking in what seems to
be a London accent.
“The only reasons we killed this man
this is because Muslims are dying daily,” he added, in video aired by
CNN affiliate ITN. “This British soldier is an eye for an eye, a tooth
for tooth.”
