News: Cameron condemns brutal hacking death



A gruesome cleaver attack on a British soldier left London reeling Thursday, as Britain grappled with questions over who was responsible and whether Islamist extremism was to blame.
The scene revealed through cell phone camera footage and witness accounts Wednesday was bloody, and for many hard to believe.
A meat cleaver-wielding man with bloody hands addressed a camera, his victim lying mutilated in the street behind him.
London attack: Terrorists targeting soldiers at home again?
“The only reasons we killed this man … is because Muslims are dying daily,” he said in video aired by CNN affiliate ITN.

“This British soldier is an eye for an eye, a tooth for tooth,” he said. “We swear by almighty Allah we will never stop fighting you until you leave us alone.”

Those two men are now under arrest, being treated in London hospitals for injuries suffered in a confrontation with armed police in southeast London’s Woolwich neighborhood. Authorities have not released
their identities.

The slain soldier has been named as Lee Rigby, who held the rank of drummer, the Ministry of Defense said.

The crisis brought Prime Minister David Cameron rushing back Wednesday night from an official trip to Paris.

He condemned the “horrific attack” in a news conference Thursday, vowing that Britain would be

“absolutely resolute” in the face of terrorism.
