The Prime Minister is expected to speak to the Home Secretary at 18:15 BST from a train to Paris about what is now being treated by government as a suspected terrorist attack, Mr Robinson says the Woolwich attackers are thought to have tried to film their attack whilst shouting "Allahu Akbar" - God is Great, says political editor Nick Robinson.
The men were said to have been of Muslim appearance.

1738: Witness Graham Wilders told the BBC he arrived on the scene to find a car crashed into a wall and a man on the ground. "Two people were lying over him and I thought they were trying to resuscitate him," he said.
But Mr Wilders said he drove on to park his car, and when he returned another witness told him the two men were stabbing the man on the ground."

Scumbags decapitate an army cadet and then start stabbing him on the ground before being shot by armed police.

So "of Muslim appearance" is reason enough to call it a suspected terror attack?

Clearly more than meets the eye here. A cobra meeting has been called which normally means it's something pretty serious. I'd imagine MI5 has some inside knowledge on this incident. The "feds" clearly didn't waste their time.

Dubious about the use of the phrase "Terrorist Attack". Even if (as is unconfirmed but seems likely) it's an extremist muslim who has perpetrated this hideous attack, surely this is a (relatively) targeted murder?

Splitting hairs for now though, RIP the victim. Wouldn't shed any tears if the perpetrators were to be "accidentally" shot in the same way the FBI seem to have accidentally shot a witness connected to the Boston bombings.

But yeah, as IOB says, Cobra + armed police on scene almost immediately is suspicious.

The 'feds' never do waste time in serious offences.

Cobra is just a standard response to a suspected terror incident though. And Trojan are rapid response, so naturally would've been there quickly.

Beeb reckon it took 20 minutes, which is not quite what I had in mind by "on the scene almost immediately" but is reasonable when you think about it.

However that does suggest that the attackers literally made no attempt to flee the scene, which is chilling.

The authorities probably know what group these fellas are associated with.

Amazing video on the news of one of the blokes, post-attack, chatting shit to a passer by whist holding a meat cleaver covered in blood
