| UK soldier slaying suspects had been investigated |
| 2013-05-23 |
A British government official said both suspects were part of previous security services investigations for possible terror links. The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak about the investigation, said he could not provide other details because the suspects may face trial. Investigations by BritainÂ’s domestic security service, MI5, can include undercover surveillance, phone tapping and communications intercepts. Police in the county of Lincolnshire in eastern England said a property was being searched in connection to the attack in Woolwich. Police said a search warrant had been obtained but would not provide details about the search. Police were also scouring the attack site for further clues. There was also a police raid on a public housing complex in east Greenwich just outside of London thought to be related to the attack investigation. |
