I Am A ‘Soldier of Allah’ – British soldier killer, Michael Adebolajo

A man
accused of
killing a
British
soldier on a
London
street told
police he
was a
"soldier of
Allah"
fighting a
war against Britain but that the killing
brought him little joy, a court heard on
December 4, 2013, Wednesday.
Michael Adebolajo, 28, and Michael Adebowale, 22,
are on trial for the brutal murder of Lee Rigby near
his barracks in the south London district of
Woolwich in May 2013.
In recordings of the interviews shown to the jury at
the Old Bailey criminal court in London, Adebolajo
blamed his actions on "wicked" leaders such as
Prime Minister David Cameron and his predecessor
Tony Blair.
Asked by detectives to describe the killing, during
which the two men allegedly hit Rigby with a car
before attacking him with knives, Adebolajo said
the soldier's head was "almost detached and may
Allah forgive me if I acted in a way that is
displeasing to him".
In another interview, during which he had a blue
blanket over his head, Adebolajo said the killing
was "for those people who have not yet understood
the nature, the nature of the war that's ongoing
and has been ongoing for some many years
between the Muslims and the British people".
He went on: "Your leaders, you have leaders who
rule over you, unfortunately they rule over you in a
very wicked, corrupt, selfish and oppressive
manner."
Adebolajo said he was "particularly disgusted by
David Cameron, the Miliband brothers and what's-
his-name, Nick Clegg", referring to opposition
Labour leader Ed Miliband, his brother David, and
Liberal Democrat Deputy Prime Minister Clegg.
He also spoke of the "wickedness and corruption"
of Blair, who took Britain in to the US-led invasion
of Iraq in 2003. Cameron, he said, was "trying to
emulate the footsteps of Tony Blair as if he
worships him".
But he added that it brought him "little joy to
approach anybody and slay them".
Rigby's widow Rebecca left the court in tears as the
interviews were played.
A psychiatrist's report read to the court earlier on
Wednesday found that Adebolajo showed "no
regret or remorse".
Both Adebolajo, who wanted to be referred to as
Mujaahid Abu Hamza in court, and Adebowale deny
murder.
