SOLDIER BEHEADED' BY MUSLIM TERRORISTS IN LONDON
'These two guys were crazed, they were not there, they were just animals'
The dramatic video obtained by ITV News emerged after terrified eyewitnesses saw two men shot by police marksmen following a machete attack on a serving soldier in Woolwich, south-east London. The two men are thought to have waited at the scene of the attack for 20 minutes, asking people to take photographs of them, until police arrived and then tried to attack them - but were swiftly shot by armed officers, including a woman. They apparently shouted 'Allah Akbar', which means 'God is great' in Arabic, and tried to film the attack, the BBC's political editor Nick Robinson said. Theresa May tonight called a meeting of the Government's emergency Cobra committee in response and Prime Minister David Cameron has cancelled a meeting with French President Francois Hollande to return to London.
