If they targeted the guy not knowing he was a soldier but based on him wearing a t-shirt supporting the troops, its another story.

Allah akbar (or whatever it is) is also used daily by most Muslims as a saying. Just happens that we think of the barbaric terrorists shouting it when we hear it. Terrorists or extreme deranged religious fanatics, they were obviously Muslims.

Brandishing a cleaver and a knife, and with the body of the victim lying yards away, the man said: "We swear by almighty Allah we will never stop fighting you. The only reason we have done this is because Muslims are dying every day. This British soldier is an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.""We must fight them. 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."

Who is doing the killing?

Seven women and five men have been shot dead in a brothel in Baghdad, state and medical officials say.
The killings come two days after multiple bombings killed at least 70 people - more died in fresh blasts on Tuesday.

At least 10 people have died and 70 have been wounded in the latest round of sectarian violence in Tripoli in Lebanon.
Four people were killed overnight in fighting between Alawite supporters of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and Sunnis, who back the Syrian opposition.

Monday's violence left more than 200 people injured.
One of the bloodiest attacks in Baghdad happened in the northern Shia neighbourhood of Shaab, when a car bomb exploded near a crowded market place killing at least 12 people and wounding more than 20.
The bombs in Basra, a mainly Shia Muslim city, killed at least 14 people outside a restaurant and the main bus station.

More than 2,000 people have died in the conflict in Nigeria since Boko Haram launched its insurgency in 2009 to create an Islamic state.
