Incident in Woolwich

[Mr-Trainor]

Not exactly clear what happened or why, but just heard an eye witness on the radio talking about this horrendous incident in Woolwich, south east London which is said to have involved two men attacking another.

Yeah I'm assuming that was the man who was found dead at the scene .

I haven't heard anything about it being treated as a terrorist attack yet though :S.

Sky News twitter said that

They're saying the event has believed to be recorded by either the one's carrying out the attack or someone with them... if that's true then that is sick..

BBC have also said it's believed to be a terrorist attack ^^

[Mr-Trainor]

Yeah saw that just after, apparently because of the fact that the victim was a soldier.

I heard that it was because they were apparently shouting stuff like 'alu akbar' as they carried out the attacks, also.

Yeah saw that just after, apparently because of the fact that the victim was a soldier.

And the culprits were demanding they were filmed, and apparently shouted Allah is great or something while doing it. It could be considered a minor terrorist offence, rather than a major one as seen in Boston which involved mass deaths.
