[The suspect with blood-soaked hands and the
knives he used in killing the British soldier.] SEYI GESINDE captures the
horrific attack of a British soldier by a British-born, Michael Adebolajo and
his unnamed accomplice, at Woolwish, London, on Wednesday, exactly four years
and 142 days after his compatriot, Farouk Abdulmutallab, popularly referred to
as the “Underwear Bomber,” was arrested, on Christmas Day, December 25, 2009,
in United States, after a flopped terror attack.
British-born Michael Adebolajo, former Greenwich
University student has been named as one of the prime suspects in the hacking
of British soldiers to death at Woolwish, London, on Wednesday.
Adebolajo, after he allegedly killed the
soldier on the London crowded street, was said to be chanting “Allah Akbar,”
while he was also quoted to have declared in a video footage that: “You and
your kids will be next.”
The London Metropolitan police officers
investigating the alleged terror attack in Woolwich, have raided a house in
Lincolnshire village.
While the officers swooped on the detached
house, the name of one of the suspects was revealed on internet forums and
Twitter as Michael Adebolajo.
Reports had it that police searched a £365,000
detached house in an estate in Lincolnshire village where Adebolajo reportedly
lived with his parents.
Report had it that 28-year-old Adebolajo and his
accomplice are believed to have run down the off-duty British soldier with a
Vauxhall Tigra as he walked back to the Woolwich Barracks at 2.20 p.m. on
Wednesday, crushing his body against a road sign.
According to an eye witnesses, the terror
suspects then “hacked and chopped” at the soldier’s body like “crazed animals,”
before dragging his corpse into the middle of the road leaving a trail of
blood.
“As they apparently tried to decapitate him,
they were chanting ‘Allah Akbar!’ an Islamic phrase meaning ‘God is great’ and
yelling this is what God would have wanted,” an eye witness said.
Pictures released after the incident showed
blood-soaked Adebolajo, who was still holding a number of weapons in his
red-stained hands.
He was seen ranting on camera in a clear London
accent saying: “You people will never be safe” before telling a passer-by they
had not fled because they were waiting to “shoot the police.”
[Ingrid Loyau-Kennett, 48, was seen
remonstrating with one of the killers whose blood-covered hands were carrying
at least one knife used to hack the soldier to death.] Armed officers who were
said to have been alerted arrived the scene of the incident 20 minutes later
and the fundamentalists seeing them charged at them wielding firearms, knives
and a machete.
Consequently, police opened fire, shooting six
bullets, leaving one seriously injured. The pair remain under armed guard in
two separate hospitals in London.
Before their arrest, in a chilling rant captured
on camera declared: “The only reason we have killed this man today is because
Muslims are dying daily by British soldiers.
