Police charge 2nd suspect in UK soldier death

LONDON (AP) - British police charged a second suspect Saturday with the murder of a soldier who was hacked to death in a London street, as right-wing and antifascist groups both demonstrated in response to a slaying that has heightened religious tensions in Britain.

The Metropolitan Police said 28-year-old Michael Adebolajo was charged with the murder of Drummer Lee Rigby. Adebolajo also is accused of attempting to murder two police officers, and possession of a firearm.

Adebolajo was released from a hospital Friday after treatment for injuries suffered when he was shot by police in the May 22 attack near an army barracks in southeast London.

Another man, 22-year-old Michael Adebowale, also has been charged with murdering Rigby, who died of "multiple incised wounds," according to a post-mortem.

Really? You don't think the videos of one of them, literally with bloody hands, explaining why they killed the soldier, along with all the eye witnesses, don't point to them being guilty of murder?

They were pointing to the arrest of one of them in Kenya, and saying that it had all been done at the instigation of the British authorities, who they said hate anyone black. And then they said they were not guilty of anything. Good to see them gone, anyway.
