I was in Woolwich yesterday, so thank God nothing happened yesterday. Nice place, shame things like this tend to give places a bad name.

The fatality is a soldier. Unconfirmed reports are this might be a terrorist attack. :(

May he rest in peace.

This will upset a few here however I am glad to see the attackers were dealt with swiftly and that if true that they were terrorists they will not be running us around in circles using every law they can to avoid punishment. :tu:

Guy was wearing a 'Help for Heroes' t-shirt. The attackers didn't leave the scene, seemed to be waiting for the police. http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2013/ma...-live-coverage

Not that swiftly, they seem to have hung around waiting for the Police to turn up and then attacked the AFO's before they got shot. :shocked:

An absolutely shocking incident, right outside a primary school, and very worrying if others start getting ideas that soldiers are fair game.

Not sure on when a crime/murder becomes a terrorist attack.

Depends who, what and why they did it. Some twitter users are supposed to have posted that they were shouting allahu akbar or what ever. I have no links or proof of this and being on twitter is not to be taken seriously.

Any act of surprise violence against civilians with the aim of attaining religious or political objectives.

Pure speculation but the description of the attackers, the weapon used, victim and their actions before and after begin to ring the Islamic extremist bell with me.
