Soldier killed in ‘terror attack’ outside London barracks
Britain was facing up to its first terrorist attack since the 7/7 bombings tonight after two men killed a soldier on the streets of London with meat cleavers.

They were shot by police who were summoned to the scene by passers-by.

Both attackers survived and were taken to separate London hospitals. One was said to be in serious condition in hospital.

A Whitehall source said that the pair shouted ‘Allahu Akbar’ (God is great) following the attack.

A parachute not opening... that's a way to die. Getting caught in the gears of a combine... having your nuts bit off by a Laplander, that's the way I wanna go!

Report: British Soldier Beheaded Outside London Barracks — Bloomberg News

A U.K. lawmaker said he believed that a serving British soldier was killed outside of an army barracks in southeast London and two suspects are in custody.

The London Times reported that one of the attackers shouted “Allahu Akhbar” (“God is Great in Arabic) as they attacked the soldier with meat cleavers.

Update: The pair was asking people passing by to take pictures so they obviously wanted this to get as much publicity as possible.

Via Sky News:

Sky sources understand that senior police officers believe the killing was likely to be a politically-motivated Islamist terrorist attack.

Dozens of weapons – including a number of knives – and pools of blood could be seen on the ground, where a man wearing a Help for Heroes T-shirt is said to have been attacked by two men.

Armed officers arrived at the scene and opened fire on two men thought to be the attackers. The two are now in hospital with gunshot wounds.

The entire thing this man is saying is edited out.. the attack never caught on camera, nor the shooting of the two alleged attackers, even though there are video cameras recording what's happening, "a young man believed to be a soldier".. works for me.

Do you always walk down the street with a camera running in the hopes you'll catch some sort of violent or suspicious act? Oh wait, look who I'm asking here...

If this was a staged event, wouldn't all these things be all queued up and ready to go?

That would look too staged. The videos and info have to "trickle" in to the media.

Yeah, but the video posted was made with a handheld camera, which the person most likely turned on when he realized shit was going down.
