The bodies of two girls, aged two and four, were found in a house in the Bedouin village of Al Furah near the southern town of Arad Tuesday. The bodies of both girls bore signs of strangulation, apparently with the use of a cord. The girls were in the custody of their father, who lived in Al Furah with his second wife, while the girls' biological mother was living in East Jerusalem. Police are searching for the father, who has been missing since the bodies were found. The girls' mother, Abir Dandis, said she received a phone call telling her that her elder daughter was killed by her father, who was enraged by her ex-wife's rendezvous with her daughters last week, apparently against his will. She turned to the Ma'ale Adumim police branch, where she said her entreats to look into her daughters' safety were ignored by the officers on the pretext that they don't deal with residents of the territories. They directed her to the Arad police station, where she said her appeal was dismissed wholesale, and the officers failed to take her seriously - because she was a resident of the Palestinian territories and a Bedouin. Dandis's lawyers said officers at the Arad station showed blatant contempt and told her to go home. The findings of an internal probe found those who handled the complaint filed by the girls' mother to be lacking in the department of reporting, command and professionalism - "a failure that goes across police ranks all the way up to the station commander," wrote Police Commissioner Yohanan Danino in a statement. Chief Superintendent Yoni Zeitek and two of his subordinates were discharged from their posts following the oversights. "At least I did what I had to do," said the mother. "I was concerned for my daughters, and he took them from me. Now at least they will be buried close to me. He prevented me from seeing them. Now I could visit the grave, which is what comforts me." Dandis decided to donate her daughters's organs. Her lawyer filed an application on her behalf to bury the girls in east Jerusalem rather than in the Negev. Regarding the murder investigation, much still remains unclear. The girls' stepmother, suspected of obstruction of justice, is set to be brought for remand at the Beersheba Magistrate Court. Police suspect she may helped the father to flee. The defense counsel, attorney Uri Fishermen, said "the case is shrouded in mystery." The stepmothers' two minor sons were detained as well. One of them has since been released and the other, 17-years-old, was remanded until Sunday. An MDA source said about the murder that "it was a horrifying sight, especially because the girls were so young. Just finding their bodies and declaring them dead was a traumatic experience for the entire MDA crew." http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4383634,00.html Photos: The two murdered sisters, The mother http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=b14_1369374605 aydeo Searching for the Bedouin father who killed his two little girls; Police station chief dismissed for not preventing this murder Bedouin community,Double murder,Girls,Father,Police Thu, 23 May 2013 19:42:58 -0400 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=3f5_1369350674 bushmillsoriginal Kern County Sheriff Donny Youngblood said Thursday that David Sal Silva, whose death earlier this month raised questions about use of force by deputies, died as a result of hypertensive heart disease and was not only intoxicated but had methamphetamine in his system at the time of his death. A pathologist has ruled Silva's death accidental, Youngblood said. In addition, he said, deputies never struck Silva in the head or neck. The findings of the sheriff's department were that three deputies struck Silva, and they hit him in areas policy allows them to strike. Youngblood said Silva, a large man, put up a violent struggle and it took several people to take him into custody. Youngblood said there was misinformation in the media, and he believes the public was patient regarding the investigation while the media stirred up controversy. "The media, in my opinion, raced to be first, didn't race to be right," Youngblood said. The sheriff gave the most in-depth look yet at what happened that night. On May 7, a report came in of an intoxicated man at Flower Street and Palm Drive outside Kern Medical Center. The deputy managed to wake up the man, later identified as Silva, who got up on his knees but then fell and landed on his face. The deputy tried to get Silva to his feet, but Silva took a rigid stance and the deputy at that point felt like he was dealing with someone under the influence of drugs, Youngblood said. The deputy tried to gain control, but Silva continued to struggle and the deputy released his canine. The dog bit Silva several times and also bit the deputy during the struggle. Six minutes after the incident began, the second deputy arrived. The first deputy used two baton strikes but was unable to control Silva, and the second deputy also struck Silva several times to try to get him to release the dog's throat. A third deputy arrived a minute later and also used his baton twice, Youngblood said. Silva continued to fight, and when they tried to hold him down, he bucked the deputies off and kicked at them., Two California Highway Patrol officers arrived and were eventually able to get a hobble on Silva to control his legs. Two more deputies then arrived, but only the first three deputies used their batons. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=3f5_1369350674 bushmillsoriginal Sheriff defends deputies' conduct, says Silva's death accidental David Sal Silva, Donny Youngblood, Kern County Sheriff, Thu, 23 May 2013 18:24:29 -0400 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=1c9_1369345821 USMC_SRT A Russian court-martial recently convicted an Air Force general of violating flying rules and causing the loss of a Su-27UB jet fighter. Both the general and his instructor managed to eject safely after the general, who was learning how to operate the Su-27, had tried to perform an acrobatic maneuver he did not know how to handle in an Su-27. Disobeying the instructor, the general went ahead, the aircraft went out of control, and both he and his instructor had to eject before the aircraft crashed. The prosecutor wanted to send the general to prison for five years and fine him $3.2 million (the cost of the aircraft). The general had a spotless record up till then, so he got four years' probation and an $800 fine (to cover court costs).While this might sound like very unusual behavior for a senior air force officer, it isn't that unusual in the Russian Air Force. During the Cold War there were many documented examples of this sort of behavior. That's because NATO intelligence units regularly monitored radio activity in East Germany and captured a number of these air disasters, or at least the final radio transmissions from the misbehaving Russian generals. For example, one such recording was of a Russian Air Force general flying a MiG-23 and was heard carrying on a heated conversation as his aircraft attempted to land in bad weather. The MiG began to have mechanical problems and the general began getting angry. As he came in lower, the cockpit warning system began to announce, in a taped feminine voice, that various systems were broken and suggested alternative procedures. The general was really pissed off at this point and, as he crashed, his last words were, "Shut up you whore, don't try and tell me how to fly an airplane." When the Cold War ended in 1991, many of these catastrophes got into circulation within the NATO air forces, even though those recordings were technically still classified. The one thing that has changed is that the Russian courts-martial of officers that survive, and the accident reports of those who don't, are no longer kept secret. That policy appears to have persuaded many Russian air force generals to be more circumspect while in the cockpit. Better training procedures and safer (to operate) aircraft have also helped. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=1c9_1369345821 USMC_SRT Shut Up You Whore, USSR, Russia, Fighter, Crash Thu, 23 May 2013 16:05:00 -0400 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=8ad_1369339205 dillknob Kern County Sheriff's Office finally release video of their law enforcement officers beating David Silva to death. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=8ad_1369339205 dillknob Final moments of David Silva's life David Silva Wed, 22 May 2013 11:33:11 -0400 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=337_1369236678 Kropman Syrian Islamic Front - Freedom fighters hit SAA Officer outpost in Zabadani hill barrier with a B-10. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=337_1369236678 Kropman FSA targeting SAA <span class="highlight">officers</span> hideout fsa, saa, war, syria, rebels, freedom fighters, saa terrorists Wed, 22 May 2013 08:12:40 -0400 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=c69_1369224614 FB-RAMBO Amber Alert suspect hiding inside. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=c69_1369224614 FB-RAMBO <span class="highlight">Officers</span> ram home in Phoenix police cops shooting amber alert Wed, 22 May 2013 04:31:18 -0400 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=274_1369211278 Lake8737 The US military had a team stationed in Mao's headquarters in WWII. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=274_1369211278 Lake8737 Mao and US army generals and <span class="highlight">officers</span> in WWII china,chinese,mao,usa,army,wwii Tue, 21 May 2013 11:09:47 -0400 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=3f9_1369147062 pheenus I often tend to be rather critical of LEOs. Sometimes it's the result of past run-ins with the law (I have, at times, engaged in some light criminality), other times for their overzealous enforcement of outdated and Draconian laws prohibiting the growth, sale and posession of the plant cannabis sativa, but mostly for the increasing militarization of forces all over the world. But I digress. This video I saw last night softened my heart to them. And I know that's entirely irrational, and that my dislike for cops in general is mostly irrational, but at the same time I was struck by how genuine these guys seemed, and how humble they were in the face of their heroism. Sometimes I like being reminded of the obvious, that cops are people too. Clip is cut from a documentary entitled 'Ohio Slave Girls: Their Story' produced by England's Channel 5.

The father of seven also had no defensive wounds in what has been described as a swift, vicious and cowardly attack by the man leading the murder investigation, Detective Superintendent Mark Payne of West Midlands police.Officers want to trace a white man, aged 25-32, of medium height and build, spotted on CCTV footage running near the scene of the attack around the time it happened, just before 10.30pm.Police also want to trace a seven-seat people carrier captured on CCTV, driving near the mosque with the two male occupants, both white and in their 30s, who are considered "significant witnesses".In an emotional family appeal on Thursday, two of Saleem's daughters, Shazia Khan, 45, and Nazia Maqsood, 44, called for the attackers to hand themselves in. They tearfully described their father as a "widely respected member of the community" and "much-loved".Payne said the possibility it was a racially motivated attack was "a significant line of inquiry" and a large number of detectives were working on the case. "To the attacker I say we will find you and we will bring you to justice," he added.Khan, who lives in London, said she believed it was "a premeditated brutal attack, pre-planned, intended to kill". She said: "I cannot see him having any enemies being so full of hate to do this to him. He was an old man - that's what he was. He had no other agenda in his life, it's unacceptable and we just cannot believe an attack like this would happen to him. We just cannot understand it."We have to walk past where he was killed and we can visualise it - we have to live with that for the rest of our lives." Describing her father, Khan said he had worked with youths at the mosque and "was a really good role model and had a great sense of humour, very tongue in cheek". She said people from all walks of life had been paying their condolences.Khan also had a message for her father's killers: "We don't know who carried out the attack - all we can say is you will be caught and you will be punished and justice will be done, legally."I hope they come forward. I hope that anyone who knows this man or the driver in the car, there may be mobile phone videos made of the killing - we don't know. If there's any information people are sharing, every little bit of information is vital that will help catch the killer."It is unusual for someone of that description to be in that area. It may not be linked, we don't know, but every avenue has to be covered. We have to all pull together and get justice for my father and anybody else, because this could happen again." http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=c26_1369306083 electricwildflower Birmingham murder racially motivated UK, Birmingham, Muslim Thu, 23 May 2013 06:19:25 -0400 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=642_1369303946 IRQ Kebab SOME would call it a case of poetic justice. THE TELEGRAPH- Vandals this morning destroyed a safety camera along the Pacific Highway in Gordon by setting fire to two wheelie-bins - full of novels, dictionaries and poetry books - that sat under the notorious speed and red-light trap. The lens of the camera also appeared to be smashed in, while smoke was still billowing from the camera after firefighters extinguished the blaze around 2am. Amongst the tomes used to ignite the fire were Patricia Cornwell's Trace, The Partner by John Grisham as well as a German to English dictionary. Nobody was injured in the fire which took place directly outside St John the Evangelist's Church. Officers from Fire and Rescue NSW attended the scene and alerted police.

Unfortunately, we are going to have to get accustomed to episodes such as the murder in London.

A Lincolnshire Police spokesman says: "This is in connection with the ongoing investigation into the murder of a man in Woolwich. The Metropolitan Police are not prepared to discuss the matter further at this stage." 1035: Professor Paul Rogers, from Bradford University, is an expert in terrorism and says the attack seemed to be designed to cause widespread fear. He tells BBC News: "The alleged perpetrators really wanted to publicise what they did. In a way, it's almost exactly what academics say when they talk about the term terrorism, it's actions which may have a victim or some victims but are designed to cause fear among a much wider community."

He was quoted in the Telegraph as saying it would be very worrying if there had been an "unwarranted delay" in the police response. 1031: A Cub Scout leader has spoken of how she confronted one of the alleged attackers who killed a member of the armed forces in Woolwich. In an interview, Ingrid Loyau-Kennett tells the Daily Telegraph the attacker said he had killed the soldier because "he had killed Muslim people" and that he was "fed up that people kill Muslims in Iraq and Afghanistan. Here is some audio of her describing what happened. 1030: The BBC's Jonathan Beale says armed forces personnel have been advised to conceal their uniforms if they are wearing them in public places, particularly on public transport. This advice has gone to regular members of the armed forces and the Territorial Army as well. 1028: Police conduct a fingertip search near to the scene of the crime. 1028: In his statement, Mr Murphy says: "The government and security services have our full support in establishing the facts and preventing any future such crimes. As a country we should respond with a reassertion of the values of tolerance and justice; the values that these extremists hate so much about our country. We should all help to ensure our Armed Forces never feel fearful in public. They protect us, and today each of us can send a loud message of support, solidarity and gratitude to all service personnel serving in our towns and cities at home and overseas." 1027: Shadow defence secretary, Jim Murphy, says: "This is firstly a personal tragedy for the family and friends of the victim. This horrendous and horrific act against our Armed Forces has shocked us all.

Here a woman places flowers outside the Royal Military Barracks, near the scene where he was killed. 0953: Graham Wilders - who witnessed the killing - says officers arriving at the scene had to take into account the fact that at least one of the attackers had a gun. He says: "The police officers didn't even get a chance to get out their car. They just, like, started running towards them, especially the bloke with the machetes. They just had to shoot him because he was just hurtling towards them, and then the other one with the handgun, lifted it up and obviously they shot him." 0952: Leaving the meeting of Cobra, London mayor Boris Johnson, appears to indicate Wednesday's attack was being seen as a one-off incident. "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," he says. 0950: Julie Siddiqi, of the Islamic Society of Britain, tells BBC Radio 4: "The people who did this act yesterday do not speak in my name, do not speak for my community or the rest of the country.

So when the PM speaks in the next hour or so, it will a more general appeal for calm and a message of reassurance. 0946: We are hearing that the Cobra meeting in Whitehall has finished. It lasted about an hour and was not a "nuts and bolts meeting", according to BBC chief political correspondent Norman Smith. 0943: Farouk Murad, spokesman for the Muslim Council of Britain, says the attack is "an insult and attack against our faith and our community", adding: "We must stand united against this kind of criminal activity... Islam does not under any pretext give the licence to kill innocents on our streets." 0942: Residents in Woolwich tell the BBC the killing should not diminish the community spirit that exists in the area. One resident, Keira, says: "I don't think it's anything to do with religion, or race or anything else. I think it's all to do with the person and who did it. And that's it really... We've just got to all pull together really and just accept what's happened and move on from it." 0942: There are still large numbers of police officers at the scene of the killing, while soldiers are standing guard outside the Royal Military Barracks in Woolwich, south-east London. 0941: A Ministry of Defence source says the uniform advice is a "common sense"" measure while the investigation into yesterday's attack is ongoing. He says it does not amount to a change in policy. Security at a number of military bases has already been stepped up and members of the services have been told to remain vigilant. 0939: Breaking News The BBC understands guidance has been issued to members of the armed forces to "conceal" their uniforms if in public, especially when travelling alone, in light of Wednesday's attack. 0932: The Press Association news agency, quoting sources, says the Woolwich suspects are of Nigerian background and are not thought to have links to terror groups based there. There has been no confirmation of this. Garath Dobbs, from Cardiff, emails: It strikes me that the attackers have gained exactly what they wanted from this - exposure. The media outlet could not wait to get this 'exclusive' on the air. There has to be a way to deny these attackers the oxygen of publicity. I think there should be a law against televising diatribes relating to such acts and a law against filming and sharing any such things on the internet. I understand the second part will be difficult but national television would be easy. It just seems very naive of ITV to show these people on primetime. Secunder Kermani tweets : Been at the #woolwich school near ydays killing. Parents say they've struggled to shield their kids from what happened. Some still scared 0928: Boris Johnson continues: "I think it's very important that... the people of London should take their cue from the behaviour of the people of Woolwich yesterday, who showed such astonishing natural courage in dealing with an appalling event, and who stood up to those killers. And I think that that's the spirit of London, and that's what I would call on people to do today - go about their lives in the normal way." 0927: Mayor of London Boris Johnson is attending the Cobra meeting in Whitehall. On his way in he says: "It is completely wrong to blame this killing on the religion of Islam. But it is also equally wrong to try to draw any link between this murder and British foreign policy, or the actions of British forces who are risking their lives abroad for the sake of freedom. The fault lies wholly and exclusively in the warped and deluded mindset of the people who did it. And what we need now is, for the sake of the victim, and for the sake of his family, is for those killers to be brought to justice." 0927: Keith Vaz, chairman of the Home Affairs Select Committee, tells BBC News the government must find out "who committed this barbaric crime and follow it up swiftly". He adds: "People need to stay calm - I think some of the stories that we've heard this morning of demonstrations in certain areas... this is not helpful to the police, the police should not be distracted from the very important work that they have to do." 0925: Former chairwoman of the British Joint Intelligence Committee, Baroness Neville-Jones, tells the BBC that the inspiration for the Woolwich attack "comes from internet hate speech and jihadist rhetoric". She says: "Muslim leadership must help with tackling the spread of this kind of rhetoric." 0915: Breaking News In a message on Twitter, Prime Minister David Cameron says: "I have been updated by the commissioner and will chair Cobra shortly. I will make a statement on this sickening killing this morning." 0914: Prime Minister David Cameron was briefed by Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe on the murder investigation before chairing the meeting of Cobra at 10 Downing Street. 0912: Breaking News PM David Cameron is now chairing the Cobra emergency government crisis committee. 0911: The Metropolitan Police are expected to release the name and regiment of the soldier killed later this morning. His family has already been informed. 0908: Here is a picture taken at the scene of yesterday's London street attack - an air ambulance can be seen landing. Have a look at our BBC picture gallery for more images of the scene in Woolwich. Warning: some of the following images are graphic in nature. 0903: Lord Reid tells BBC Radio Scotland's Good Morning Scotland that the killing in Woolwich was a "horrific and terrible attack", and adds: "The bad news is that becomes harder to prevent." He says it was "a testament to the effectiveness of our security forces in this country that they have prevented it for many, many years". 0902: Col Kemp also tells BBC News he believes this morning's Cobra meeting will try to ascertain whether the attack was part of a wider extremist conspiracy. He says: "I don't think it looks like that myself but I think they will want to know that. And the second thing, I think, in that area is there will be a great deal of concern that this form of attack now, which I think has been long feared by the security services, could lead to copycats." 0901: A former commander of British soldiers in Afghanistan, Col Richard Kemp, tells BBC Radio 4's Today programme "it would be wrong to suggest we live in a state of fear of this type of attack". 0901: Former Home Secretary Lord Reid condemns the "brutal, inhumane and terrible murder of an innocent person". While he said the threat from terrorists was continual, he insisted they would not succeed in their bid to "impose their will on others" in the UK. 0852: A Facebook page set up in honour of the victim of yesterday's attack has received one million "likes", according to the Metro newspaper . It features a statement saying: "A British soldier has been murdered as he walked a street in London in a 'suspected' terror attack. RIP to a hero!" 0851: Raffaelle Pantucci, a senior research fellow at the Royal United Services Institute, tells the BBC: "The brazenness of this incident is what marks it out from previous ones. The willingness of these guys to conduct this attack in the middle of the street and then sort of talk about it, shout about it in front of people in the street afterwards, is I think a new level of brutality." 0825: Lincoln Jopp, a former commander of British troops in Afghanistan, tells the BBC this was a tragic act, but adds the British army will rally round at times like this - as they always do. He says he realises people will be looking at procedures, but says he would like military personnel to continue wearing their uniforms outside barracks. He says the British public's support gives the military great strength. 0816: Our correspondent adds the Cobra meeting will decide how to respond to the killing - looking at whether it was a lone attack or a wider orchestrated campaign. So far, he says, the UK's terror alert level has not been raised and the security response has been limited to military barracks, which would lead one to speculate it is believed to have been an isolated act. 0815: Political correspondent Norman Smith says the Cobra emergency meeting - for which the PM has returned from France - will get under way in about 20 minutes. Before that the home secretary will brief David Cameron on the latest thinking of the intelligence service, because overnight they have gone through a mass of material - witness statements, footage, and of course their own records, he says - to see if the attackers were in any way known to the security services. 0807: You can read our main news story here for an overview of what is happening today. Here is a map of the scene. David Dixon, a local head teacher, told the BBC News Channel he walked out of the school gates and saw a body lying in the road a short distance away. He then heard gunshots and instructed staff to lock all the gates of his school. An air ambulance landed in the playground and the children were sent home. 0802: If you want more background on yesterday's attack, you can look back at Wednesday's live page here. 0800: Here is a picture of the scene yesterday, following the attack - which took place at 14:20 BST in John Wilson Street, the A205.

He tells the BBC that the hatred preached by some Islamic clerics has to stop: "The real problem here is the decisive hatred preached by a very small minority of clerics in this country in a small number of our mosques and universities. They know who they are and there are Muslim groups and other groups - left wing groups may I say - who defend that kind of grievance and victimhood mentality. That's what must change and has to stop. A very small number of people but unfortunately their influence is too high." Mark Coyle tweets : Police helicopter overhead #Woolwich. A sense of bewilderment in the air. I swear I saw a dad holding his kids' hands tighter than normal. 0754: ITV News has broadcast footage of a man with bloodied hands talking to a camera, following the attack. He makes a series of political statements before walking towards a man, who is believed to be a soldier, lying on the street. Warning: This footage contains disturbing images. CJ, from Surrey A dark day for us all. Whatever their reasons, this was wrong. This can only lead to opposing hate groups (re)surfacing and promoting further further hate amongst understandably frightened people. 0745: Wednesday's events in Woolwich have shocked the UK - but this was precisely the kind of attack that security chiefs have long feared could come, writes the BBC's home affairs correspondent Dominic Casciani in his blog this morning. 0743: A passer-by, Ingrid Loyau-Kennett, confronted one of the attackers in the street. She says he told her that he had killed because he was "fed up" about the deaths of Muslims in Iraq and Afghanistan. Speaking on ITV Daybreak she describes the scene, saying: "More and more people were starting to come. I mean there was absolutely nobody when I arrived apart form the bus and people stayed on the bus and there was just this lady cradling the soldier and gradually people started to come. I imagine the soldier was losing more and more blood and attracting people and there was so many people around." 0741: The Muslim Council of Britain says the killers' use of "Islamic slogans" indicates they were motivated by their faith. A statement from the council says: "This is a truly barbaric act that has no basis in Islam and we condemn this unreservedly. Our thoughts are with the victim and his family." 0740: The BBC's Jonathan Beale says security at London military barracks has been stepped up, but the overall threat of terrorism warning has not been raised to severe - it is at substantial at the moment. Severe would mean a terror attack is likely. One of the issues the Cobra meeting will look at is whether soldiers should wear their uniform outside their barracks, he says. They will also discuss if this is a one-off attack or part of a wider move. 0736: There are reports that it was 20 minutes before armed police arrived at the scene of the attack yesterday. But local MP for Greenwich and Woolwich Nick Raynsford tells the BBC he thinks police arrived pretty quickly and very quickly dealt with the two suspects. "We know very well that quick response is important, but it's difficult to think in an urban area that it would be possible to get to a scene of a crime much quicker than that given all the communication there has to be - given that there had to be an armed unit to respond, and given the evidence there were two very dangerous suspects who themselves were armed." 0733: There are many questions today about who the victim of this brutal attack was. He is said to have been a member of the British armed forces, but people will want to know who he was, which unit was he with, and if he was linked to the Woolwich barracks. For the Cobra emergency committee, perhaps the overriding question will be whether the two attackers were acting unilaterally or were part of a more orchestrated plot. The committee will also be discussing the motive for the attack, says the BBC's Ben Ando. 0732: Already security has been stepped up at military barracks across London. Police now are waiting to question the two attackers, who are in separate hospitals after being shot by armed police. The BBC's Ben Ando says we do not know which hospitals are looking after the men or what condition the men are in - although one is thought to be in a critical condition. 0730: Since the attack there were confrontations in Woolwich between police and a group of around 60 people - some from the English Defence League - but there were no arrests. Here members of the EDL wear balaclavas as they gather outside a pub in Woolwich in London last night. There have also been attacks on mosques in Kent and Essex. 0726: Initially, witnesses thought the two men were trying to help the man, but then they realised they were killing him. Lots of amateur footage was recorded at the scene yesterday and police have urged people to send them any video or images they have of the scene. 0726: Meanwhile, a tow-truck has removed a vehicle - covered with a red canvas cover - which is thought to have been involved. It is thought the victim was struck by a car before being attacked by the two men, says our correspondent Ben Ando. 0725: The BBC's Ben Ando, who has been in Woolwich overnight, says it has been a scene of considerable and measured activity. The scene of the killing was on the south circular road - one of London's busiest routes, and forensic teams have worked through the night to complete their work so the road can re-open. 0723: The two men - who were shot by police - are being held in hospital under armed guard while counter terrorism police wait to question them. 0722: Witnesses yesterday described seeing two men armed with knives and a gun repeatedly assault the victim. One of the men called for Britain to end its involvement in foreign conflicts. The image shown here is from footage taken at the scene. 0721: The emergency meeting this morning will be attended by politicians, the UK's most senior police officer and the new head of MI5. 0721: Home Secretary Theresa May has said that while we have seen terrorism on the streets of London before, "we have always stood firm against it - despicable acts like these will not go unpunished", she has promised. 0720: The home secretary says security has been tightened at all London barracks, and the government's emergency response committee Cobra will meet this morning to discuss the attack. David Cameron has cut short his trip to Paris to chair the meeting. 0719: Two suspects were shot by armed police after spending several minutes speaking to bystanders and making political statements to camera. 0718: A man said by Whitehall sources to be a member of the British armed forces has been killed on a busy south London street in what has been described as a terror attack. His exact identity has not been revealed.

A Stockholm suburb erupted into violence for a few hours, as crowds of angry, masked youths from migrant families burned cars, smashed windows and hurled stones at police officers. What's believed to have fueled the riot was the death of a 69-year-old man, allegedly shot by police in the area last week.
