Brutal London Attack: Pedestrians Shocked as Terrorists Kill Soldier with Machete in Daylight; Attacker Declares 'We Will Never Stop Fighting You'

After two London attackers brutally butchered a soldier to death in daylight on Wednesday, Prime Minister David Cameron claims that there are strong indications that the violent attack was a Muslim terrorist act.

The brutal London attack involved two men who fatally assaulted the victim a few blocks away from the Royal Artillery Barracks in Woolwich. The two attackers used a number of terrifying weapons, including a machete, a meat cleaver, and butchers' knives.

After the attack, the attackers did not depart from the scene but continued shouting politically extremist slogans to passers-by while wielding long knives with their bloody hands.

One teacher at a local primary school was shocked in seeing the victim's bloody body lying motionless on the streets and asked the primary school to go into lockdown.

To capture this horrific and terroristic incident, pedestrians filmed the scene as one of the attackers screamed "an eye for an eye" while the dead body was laid behind him.

The attacker also declared, "We swear by almighty Allah we will never stop fighting you. We must fight them as they fight us."

One woman, Ingrid Loyau-Kennett, 48, tried to confront the attackers and intervene. She urged them to stop killing, saying "It is only you versus many people. You are going to lose."

Cameron called the attack an "appalling murder," and signs indicate that the London attack was most likely motivated by radical Islam and terrorism.

Mayor Boris Johnson of London urged residents to keep calm. Following the British government's emergency committee meeting on Thursday, Johnson attempted to frame the attack as a one-time incident.

Johnson said, "Everything I am hearing leads me to think that Londoners can go about their business in the normal way and we are going to bring the killers to justice."

The attackers, who hit the soldier with a blue vehicle and proceeded to attack him, are now under arrest. They were admitted to the hospital after they were shot by the police during the raid.
