Sky explaining it more a amateur homegrown attack

I'd assume so (if it is). Can't imagine Zawahiri planning this one in his Pakistani doombunker (mansion basement). I mean, why not go for the barracks nearby? Or even attack the bystanders.

Guys from Afghanistan according to her, had meat cleavers, demanded people on bus take pictures.

Well that's weird, the other witness said they were black..?

 

[The_Squirrel_Menace]

This is just fucked up.

Do we have any info on the soldier?

 

[Hystzen]

Well that's weird, the other witness said they were black..?

US news claimed the recent Boston bombers where black until much later proved they where white better to wait for official sources

Police statement live on sky

 

[Jburton]

So they beheaded a suspected soldier in broad daylight on a London street?

Crazy.

 

[CHEEZMO™]

Damn @ that blood puddle in front of the car.

 

[hym]

The ideology the British government insists on arming in Syria is responsible for this.

Was it confirmed whether they are black or else? I missed the press statement

Nobody should be blamed but the people that carried it out.

Wow way to talk out your ass!

Dick.

 

[hym]

Wow way to talk out your ass!

Dick.

Keeping this so I can point out I was right once the results of the investigation are shared with the public.

Let's see how wrong this dick is.

 

[Fergie]

Updated the main BBC story.

 

[Hystzen]

nothing yet just suspects are in two separate hospitals

Seems there's lots of misinformation floating around.

Your insistence on the fact that all Syrian opposition are extremeist Sunni Al-Qaeda is bullshit, and your a dick for trying to score points on this event.


Keep what you like.

I give it a couple of days before some twat columnist in The Guardian post's an article telling us all how we have to reach out to these animals.

Pretty obvious these guys were far right extremists.

How. How have you arrived at this conclusion.

 

[zomgbbqftw]

Fucking hell, just watched BBC News. D:

Feel sorry for the guys who were murdered. Fuck these terrorist scumbags. Cunts.

Not every Nazi soldier was a fascist either. Nobody is claiming every insurgent in Syria is affiliated with Al-Qaeda, but the dominant force and its motives are clear, or did you think the Emir of Qatar has spent $3 Billion for humanitarian concerns?

And Al-Qaeda is a Salafi organization, don't insult the Sunni community with your generalizations.

 

[LanceVance]

Doesn't really seem like a terrorist attack to me. Sounds more like they were fucked up on something. Why just attack one random person, then get people to take pictures of them posing in front of the dead body? Why not attack other bystanders?

Media already talking about Al Qaeda, christ.

Well I do apologise to the Sunni community but you have some balls to talk about generalisation.

I'm going to stop talking to you, this shit is derailing the thread.

Just saw this on the BBC 6 o'clock news, fuck.

Yeah, this is the really confusing bit to me, if it was indeed a terrorist incident.

 

[cheststrongwell]

Terrorists goal is to scare the fuck out of people. I think their plan has worked. Terrorist attacks don't need massive body counts, they just need to be high profile.

An eyewitness report said that one of the attackers shouted "Allahu akbar". Which if confirmed means that this attack was a terrorist one.

Its not that easy to scare London.

Its not that easy to scare London.

Random machete attacks are definitely high up on the list though.

Probably be posted about the same time as the Daily Mail posts their article about immigration being the cause.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

An eyewitness report said that one of the attackers shouted "Allahu akbar". Which if confirmed means that this attack was a terrorist one.

Because they shouted Allahu Akbar?

Could be they were just religious nuts who did it because they were off their meds or does shouting that phrase automatically turn anything anyone does into a terrorist attack?

 

[hym]

Are you saying that it was syrians who attacked this guy?

I only reply because I have sympathy for Daft Punk admirers, but that's some awful reading comprehension, ideologies by their definition have no nationality.

 

[Vilix]

BBC reports attackers made no attempts to escape. When armed police arrived they approached the police, almost like wanting to be shot. Which they were.

 

[zomgbbqftw]

Because they shouted Allahu Akbar?

Possibly. Seems more likely to be a terrorist attack if it does turn out to be true.

 

[LanceVance]

No it doesn't. Just because they shouted "Allahu akbar", doesn't mean they attacked him for political aims. Labelling it a terrorist attack so quickly just spreads fear within the public, in reality the media have no clue why they attacked this guy.

 

[Hindle]

I'm interested if these guys were under Argem Choudarys wing, if they are he's fucked.

 

[Hystzen]

No it doesn't. Just because they shouted "Allahu akbar", doesn't mean they attacked him for political aims. Labelling it a terrorist attack so quickly just spreads fear within the public, in reality the media have no clue why they attacked this guy.

Sky is not though they using the term terror attack vaguely or not even claim it is. Some media outlets will jump the gun claiming it is but not all

Someone restrain Dave.

Sky are describing it as "A politically-motivated Islamist terror attack".

Anjem is fucking scum, but sadly he's not stupid. He'll be cleaner than clean.

 

[Hystzen]

Not what I'm watching at moment just saying it could be due to eyewitness reports but still have title of Woodwich killing for story

 

[zomgbbqftw]

It was also right outside Woolwich military barracks. I'm leaning towards terrorist attack for this one.
