The two suspects in the butchering to death of a British soldier had been known to the domestic security service MI5 and the police over an eight-year period, but had been assessed as peripheral figures and thus not subjected to a full-scale investigation, it has emerged .
Adebolajo had complained of harassment by MI5 in the last three years after he came to the intelligence agency's attention.

Yet again, as with all the other terror attacks, the attackers are actually known subjects to the intelligence community..
Once again they were not considered a threat...
I said it from the begining when the BBC was spouting out that this had nothing to do with an intelligence operation in the area that something was amiss...
Yet again state intelligence services have dropped the ball, be it by accident or on purpose...i dont know.

People need to be careful with how they throw around such blame, to me it seems to play right into a more totalitarian government mind set.
The People: "Why didn't you protect us from every single loony out there!"
The Government: "Okay, will do, just remember you asked for it..."

Why the hell do the UK and the U.S have "intelligence services", if the intelligence they collect is'nt interpreted in the right way or not acted upon...Or maybe they want it that way, its convenient.
It's the great game and it hasnt changed since the end of the 1800's..
All these deaths are just moves in political chess games..we are merely pawns to be used and sacrificed
Lots of things went through my head when I read through that story - one of them being, maybe he was in fact working for them (and still is) and this is all..well...you know what I mean...

OP, the situation just got a whole lot weirder. One of the suspects (i.e. the main one - the one on video) was approached by the MI5 six months ago. They were asking him to work for them. That sounds dodgy, real dodgy...

Isn't it just as possible that MI5 asking them to betray his muslim brothers was the thing that sent him over the edge? The thing that pushed him into action. A loud defiant 'no'.

WHY ONLY KILL ONE PERSON....
Why not look for more squaddies or cops to kill..

Its a terrorist suicide attack after all, so why not take as many infidels as you can with you, after all he told the scout leader he would "rather stay and fight" and if the police come "i shoot them" than go...so they waited patiently twenty minutes without attacking anyone else..

5 to 6 minutes of controlled agression to kill Lee Rigby, beheading, or trying to behead him..then nothing.
A calm young man explaining to the whole wide world why he did what he did...
Almost as if you could switch him on and off.......

They didn't wait patiently for 20 minutes, the 20 minutes is the time it took an armed response unit to arrive, not the police as far as I know. I think they were surrounded by police much faster. They waited for the armed officers because they wanted martyr death by policeman live on TV.
They wanted the chance to be heard. Then they wanted martyr death. In that order. And they wanted to fight but no one fought them.
I admit this is curious, but not really any proof of anything. Drugs wearing off? Shock? I honestly don't know. Obviously this is all ultimately supposition though. My own opinion.
I've asked this before but no one has answered. Curious if you can?
If you believe this was a government op, and he was set up and coached or controlled to do this, why would you programme him to end his speech 'Don't trust your government, get rid of them'.
Seems a bit of a stupid thing to have your puppet say to the nation, doesn't it?
