Soldier Reportedly Beheaded in London in Attack Outside Barracks
Two men with large knives suspected of being terrorists
Two suspected terrorists were shot by armed police after attacking a pedestrian, believed to be a soldier, with a machete-style knife close to military barracks in an 'Islamist attack.'
Local MP Nick Raynsford said he had been told the man attacked in the street was a soldier serving at the Royal Artillery Barracks near the attack.
Mr Raynsford said the soldier had been returning to the barracks after a day out when he was attacked.
London Ambulance Service said one man, believed to be the victim of the machete attack, had died in the incident and two others were injured, one seriously.

Is she selling assault machetes?
This is the second or third story I've seen in the past few days about machete-wielding Muslims attacking police and/or soldiers. Is this a terrorist fad?
Good thing the victim had no pistol. That could have only made things worse.
