UK Murder: Adebolajo's Family Express Their Profound Shame Over The Attack

28 May, 2013

The family of one of the Woolwich terror suspects today expressed their “profound shame and distress” over the “senseless killing” of soldier Lee Rigby.

Relatives of Michael Adebolajo, 28, sent their “heartfelt condolence” to the family of the tragic drummer, who was hacked to death near barracks in south-east London.
In a statement, the Adebolajo family said: "Nothing we can say can undo the events of last week.
"However, as a family, we wish to share with others our horror at the senseless killing of Lee Rigby, and express our profound shame and distress that this has brought to our family."
They said they believed that “there is no place for violence in the name of religion or politics”, adding that they “wholeheartedly condemn all those who engage in acts of terror”.
They went on: "We pray for Lee Rigby's soul to rest in peace, for the Lord to comfort his parents and loved ones and provide all of us affected with the strength and fortitude to cope with this tragedy."

The statement came as Adebolajo’s alleged accomplice – also shot by police after the murder of soldier Lee Rigby – was discharged from hospital.
Michael Adebowale, 22, was taken into custody at a police station in south London this afternoon.
Adebowale, from Greenwich, south east London, was arrested on suspicion of the murder of Drummer Rigby on May 22 – and this afternoon was further arrested on suspicion of the attempted murder of a police officer.

BOKO Haram Members Killed While Attacking Bama Barack.

The Members of Islamic terror group, boko Haram today met their match, as they were crushed by the Nigerian Soldiers while they trooped into the 202 barracks, Bama In Borno to attack the Soldiers and their family.

Boko Haram gunmen killed 22 police officers, 14 prison officials, two soldiers and four civilians, while 13 of the group’s own members died, military spokesman Sagir Musa told Reuters.

Gunmen freed 105 prison members during the raid which began at around 5 a.m. (0400 GMT) and lasted almost five hours, Musa said. Bama’s police station, military barracks and government buildings were burned to the ground, a Reuters witness saw.

Bama is a small, remote town in northeastern Borno state, where Boko Haram first launched an uprising in 2009.

The Boko Haram sect and offshoots such as the al Qaeda-linked Ansaru, as well as associated criminal networks, pose the main threat to stability in Africa’s top energy producer.

Western governments are increasingly concerned about Nigerian militants linking up with other jihadist groups in the West African region.

Boko Haram wants to carve out an Islamic state in a country split roughly equally between Christians and Muslims. One of its chief demands is that its imprisoned members and family members are released and it has carried out several prison breaks.

Violence in Nigeria’s north has shown no signs of letting up. Clashes between Islamists and a multinational force from Nigeria, Niger and Chad killed dozens of people last month.

A senator who visited the site said 228 people were killed, but the military puts the figure at 37
