Possible terrorist/political type attack in UK

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-22630303

Prime Minister David Cameron said there were "strong indications that it is a terrorist incident" and the UK would "never buckle" in the face of such attacks.

Footage has emerged showing a man wielding a bloodied meat cleaver and making political statements.

There are unconfirmed reports that the dead man was a soldier.

There is a video on the link of the suspect, pretty shocking and very sad.

Unless the terrorist was trying to spark fears of a zombie outbreak, I'm not sure this was a terribly effective plan to achieve any mass terror.

Oh, and ... BAN MEAT CLEAVERS! /USA gun control advocates

Yeah & credit where it's due, the intelligence services in the UK are pretty good. They've actually stopped a lot of these type of events before they even happen in the last few years. (Ok, besides them shooting the wrong unarmed guy 7 times in the head a few years back ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Jean_Charles_de_Menezes ) In the case today though, I believe the two suspects have been shot and are in hospital, so the truth serum should be kicking in right about now...

I'm just surprised that witnesses stayed around and filmed this stuff and the suspect so close on video! A stupid teenager I could understand, but in the video there's also a mature lady walking towards the suspect in the background! Even though he's covered in blood, ranting, carrying a machete & there's a dead guy in the road!? Looks like most of the people round there are already zombies...

here in blighty we dont take a lot of notice of bleeding, machete wielding zombies ....

its just not cool to react and theres bound to be a hidden camera somewhere :wave:

and i think we invented intelligence, so theres not a lot we can learn from such services. ffftt:
