| The Ministry of Defense identifies the soldier killed in Wednesday attack as Drummer Lee Rigby, 25, |
British police have shot and wounded two men after a man believed to be soldier was beheaded in an attack on a street outside Woolwich barracks in South East London. Prime Minister David Cameron called the attack “truly shocking.”
18:59 GMT: A British officer anonymously told RT that after the attacks it will feel less secure for service members to wear their uniform in their home country.
“It makes you feel like you’ll think twice now about going out in public in your uniform. That’s definitely something the guys will be thinking about.”
“You also think this is going to be happening to soldiers abroad you don’t think you’ll be targeted at home which is obviously something that’s now going to have to be thought about in terms of security for the armed forces here.”
