Round-up: The London (Woolwich) Murder
2013-05-24
These sites are continually updating as news comes in.
Reuters:
o Security services in spotlight after soldier murder
o Police investigating the murder of a soldier on a busy London street are looking into whether the two suspected killers, British men of Nigerian descent, were part of a wider conspiracy.
o Video shows police shooting soldier's suspected killers
o In attacker's argot, Londoners shocked to hear one of their own
o Scout mistress who berated knifemen hailed for "spirit of London"

o Exiled cleric who taught UK knifeman praises "courage"

Sky News, articles major and minor -- scroll down. Key at time of posting:
o Man with #EDL badge demands police tear down tribute to Drummer Lee Rigby. Others agree. It was Gandhi's "eye for an eye" quote. #woolwich
o Suspects Michael Adebolajo, 28, originally from Romford in Essex, and Michael Oluwatobi Adebowale, 22, of Greenwich in southeast London, are under police guard in hospital.
o Police are today questioning a man and a woman, both 29, arrested in raids on six properties in London and Lincolnshire.
o Two men have been arrested for making alleged offensive comments on a social networking website about the killing of a serving British soldier in London. A 23-year-old and a 22-year-old, both from Bristol, were held under the Public Order Act on suspicion of inciting racial or religious hatred. The two men were later released on bail pending further inquiries.

Mirror
Lots of human interest and background stories.
o 10.35am Drummer Lee Rigby has been formally identified as the soldier killed in Woolwich.

A statement from the Metropolitan Police said: "The soldier who was murdered in Woolwich on Wednesday, 22 May, has been formally identified as Lee Rigby, 25, following a post mortem examination which concluded last night, Thursday 23 May.

"The cause of death has not been confirmed.

"An inquest will open in due course."

#6  Watched the video of the "Suspects" getting shot. Shoots one, who flops down and knee kicks out like a wuss, then the other with the gun (HOW!? There's no guns in England!!! /sarc) goes down. I yell "Shoot him again!", guess what they do?

I hope both get the full treatment of Socialized Medicine over there.

Full. Treatment.

#4  Ramming an unsuspecting pedestrian with a car, and then two of you hacking his injured body with machetes until dead... "courage"? Only from a Muslim...

#3  Courage?

They outnumbered him 2:1, were armed with knives and a pistol and he was unarmed. They started their attack BY HITTING HIM WITH A CAR.

They were cowards, start to finish, knowing they couldn't take him in a fair fight.
