British soldier hacked to death in suspected Islamist attack in busy London street

Two suspected terrorists hacked a man believed to be a British soldier to death on a busy London street on Wednesday.

One of the men yelled 'Allahu Akbar', in an attack that was caught on video and left the nation shocked and horrified.

According to Fox News, the victim was killed on the spot, and the attackers waited at the scene until police arrived and shot both.

One attacker, his hands soaked in blood and still holding a machete, delivered an angry jihadist screed as stunned passersby watched, the dead man lying on the street, in the southeast London neighborhood of Woolwich, the report said.

Witnesses said the attackers shouted 'Allahu Akbar', Arabic for 'God is Great', during the bloody rampage, according to the BBC.

Police said the two attackers were shot by authorities and taken to separate London hospitals to be treated for their injuries.

British Prime Minister David Cameron, who cut short a visit to Paris, condemned the killing as 'truly shocking'.

He said that there are 'strong indications' that the attack was terror-related.
