A man with bloodied hands, holding a meat cleaver and a knife appears in an amateur video after a soldier was killed near an army barracks in London. The suspected attacker said "The only reason we killed this man is because Muslims are dying daily. This British soldier is an eye for an eye, a tooth for tooth."

He said, "I apologise that women had to witness this today, but in our land our women have to see the same. You people will never be safe. Remove your government - they don’t care about you."
The attack occurred in the southeast London neighborhood of Woolwich, just a few blocks from the Royal Artillery Barracks. The dead man was a serving British soldier at the Woolwich barracks.
Eyewitnesses said the two suspects hacked the victim to death with kitchen knives. They tried to behead the victim while shouting "God is greatest" in Arabic. The two attackers were seen dragging the victim from the pavement and dumping his body in the middle of the road.
One witness also heard about five or six gun shots from the police, and saw one of the guys go down. Soon after the attack, two men carrying weapons were shot and wounded by police. Police have sealed off streets and closed schools around the Woolwich area. British Prime Minister David Cameron said the attack appeared to be terror related.
