Cambuulo iyo bun Posted May 22, 2013 One person has died and at least two people have been wounded in an attack near a military training barracks in London, officials say. Witnesses said the man was hacked to death with a machete-style knife in the Woolwich district in the southeast of the British capital on Wednesday. ITV news network broadcast footage of an African man carrying a blooded machete, saying "we swear to Allah we'll continue fighting you". Media reports said the victim was a serving British soldier. "It is the most appalling crime," Prime Minister David Cameron said, before cutting short a visit to Paris. "The police are urgently seeking the full facts about this case but there are strong indications that it is a terrorist incident." Home Secretary Theresa May was to chair a meeting with the government's emergency COBRA security committee in response to the attack. She said two men were shot by armed police and were receiving treatment for their injuries. Al Jazeera's Laurence Lee, reporting from the scene, said witnesses said had come out of a car with a machete and a gun and started to chop the man into pieces. Witnesses said the men had fearlessly approached police when they arrived and were shot. Britain's Ministry of Defence said it was urgently investigating reports that a serving soldier was involved in the incident. Security was tightened in the area immediately after the incident. Helicopters hovered above and nearby roads were sealed off by the police. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
