Woolwich Attackers 'Filmed' Each Other

Attackers filmed each other and asked members of the public to take pictures during the assault, Sky sources say.

SKY NEWS: Two attackers filmed their deadly assault on a man in Woolwich, according to Sky sources.

Senior Whitehall sources said the attackers had also asked passers-by to film them, and they shouted "Allahu Akbar" (Allah is great).

Footage shows the men saying: "We swear by almighty Allah we will never stop fighting you".

A meeting of Cobra - the government-level national emergency response committee - has been convened, the source added.

Home Secretary Theresa May has described the events in Woolwich, south east London, as "sickening."

Sky Home Affairs Correspondent Mark White said: “There has been a concern for some considerable time about the potential for home-grown terrorist groups.

“These kind of attacks do not need to be sophisticated and in many respects the less sophisticated they are, the more easily an attack can be perpetrated.” » | Wednesday, May 22, 2013
