One of the busy streets of Britain, Woolwich Street has witnessed a brutal killing on Wednesday when a soldier was murdered by two attackers who attempted to behead and disembowel him as he left a barracks.

It is understood that the dead soldier was a member of the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers, which is currently based overseas. According to the witnesses, the soldier was ambushed by the men as he left the base in Woolwich, south-east London, who after attacking, dragged his body in the middle of the road to pose for photographs while standing over him waving a cleaver and a gun.

Senior Whitehall sources have also confirmed today that the man who had been killed was a member of the armed forces.

The Prime Minister David Cameron has condemned the killing and urged the British communities to “carry on” in the face of extremism on Wednesday, and told that this violent attack would not defeat the country.

Mr. Cameron has returned from France on Wednesday night, and on Thursday morning chaired a meeting of the government’s emergency committee Cobra. He has said: “Already a number of things are clear; first, this country will be absolutely resolute in its stand against violent extremism and terror. We will never give in to terror – or terrorism – in any of its forms.

“Second, this view is shared by every community in our country. This was not just an attack on Britain, and on our British way of life.”

Both the men behind the Woolwich attack have yet not been named officially. However, details are being emerged through the individuals who recognised the men from the photos and video footage taken during, and just after, the attack.

The former leader of banned Islamic group Al Muhajiroun, Anjem Choudary has told to know one of the alleged attackers from meetings and lectures, and that he went by the name of Mujahid.

However, the same man has been identified by few sources as Michael Adebolajo – a British-born Nigerian. Both suspects appear to be in their 20s or early 30s, and are black.
