Woolwich: 'Soldier Dead After Terror Attack'
Sky News ^ | 6:31pm UK, Wednesday 22 May 2013 | sky news

Posted on 05/22/2013 10:41:45 AM PDT by Eurotwit

A man reported to be a serving soldier is dead and two people have been shot in Woolwich, south east London, after what Sky sources understand is being treated as a terrorist attack. Downing Street has called a meeting of the Government's Cobra emergency committee after the incident in John Wilson Street, which David Cameron described as "truly shocking". 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.

I really don’t know. But from what I’ve seen on other threads, shouting “allahu akbar” is a pretty clear tell to me.....

They are murdering Soldiers in the streets of London and attacking police stations in Stockholm. This is like an alien invasion movie where the Europeans don’t know what to do.

*Britain already has knife control.

Really.*

No wonder Eric Idle wanted to know how to defend himself against a point-ed stick! That's all you'll be left to defend yourself with.

Have rocks been outlawed in England yet?

I don’t know about everyone else, but isn’t it premature to call this an act of terrorism. Don’t we need a statement from Obama before we can go that far. I know this is Britain, but there really needs to be some guidance here.

LMAO

Don’t jump to conclusions anyone!

In 2005 I spent a long day at the airport in Amsterdam on a layover. Everywhere, I saw muslim women with tons of kids hanging on strollers.

COBRA is the meeting of MI5, MI6 and the Govt, which happens if any incident is believed to be terrorist.

You ignorant idiot.

Today dosent alter the fact that 96% of the UK is Not Muslim. And that we arent and will not be run by the Muslims. If anything this disgusting incident will cause a reaction nationwide against Islam.

"A man reported to be a serving soldier is dead "

How can one be a soldier without having a gun or anything for protection?

What chances does a civilian have if a soldier can't protect himself?

I hope it does trigger a very appropriate anti-Islam reaction. The trends do not look good in the UK from across the pond. I hope the UKIP rapidly ascends into power.
