British soldier found beheaded in suspected terror attack near London

London/Paris: In a suspected terror attack, a person believed to be a British soldier was on Wednesday beheaded near a barrack by two reported Islamists who were later shot and wounded by the police.

10, Downing Street has called a meeting of the Government’s Cobra emergency committee after the incident, which Prime Minister David Cameron described as “truly shocking”.
Senior police officers are thought to believe the killing was a politically-motivated Islamist terrorist attack and video has emerged that appears to show one of the alleged attackers attempting to justify the pair’s actions, media reported.
Dozens of weapons – including a number of knives – and pools of blood could be seen on the ground, where a man wearing a Help for Heroes T-shirt is said to have been attacked by two men. The people carrying out the attack were heard saying ‘Allahu Akbar’ (God is Great), sources said.
Local MP Nick Raynsford said he had been told the man attacked on the street was a soldier serving at the Royal Artillery Barracks. Whitehall sources have told it is “a fair supposition” that the incident was a terrorist incident but police have not commented publicly on the suggestion.
London Ambulance Service confirmed one man had been found dead at the scene. It said two men had been taken to hospital, one in a serious condition. One of the men was airlifted from the scene, and another was taken away by road ambulance.
