London. Approximately 2:20 PM. Michael Adebolajo, 28, Nigerian by birth and a convert to Islam several years ago, and an accomplice, Michael Adebolawe, 22, attacked Drummer Lee Rigby, a British soldier, a veteran of Afghanistan and the father of a two-year-old child. They killed him with machetes and beheaded him. A passerby then filmed them shouting “Allah Akhbar,” “Allah is great,” and declared they had killed a murderer of Muslims. The two were later injured and arrested by police during a firefight a few minutes later.
