What's interesting in this case is that the terrorists wanted people to take video.
Very strange tactic. Go figure.
18.22 One witness, who declined to be named, tells Jasper Copping the attackers were "praying like it was a sacrifice" and "making people take videos".
And another man had the same impression.
18.28 Fred Oyat, who saw the incident from the window of his flat, tells Josie Ensor that two black or Middle Eastern men were wondering around the street, walking over the dead body on the floor:
"The two men were shouting," he says. "They had three knives including a machete and a meat cleaver as well as an old gun.
"The white man was already dead on the floor, his fade covered in blood. He had a big neck wound and his neck was almost off."
"They seemed to be encouraging people to take photos and waited there until police arrived as if they wanted a fight.
"There was blood running down the streets. I still can't stop shaking."
'Shootings' and 'machete attack' in south east London: live - Telegraph
No they take the videos and use them for training their children ( madrassas are jihad training camps in Indonesia - over 38,000 of them - also in Pakistan - not sure on numbers there) - they also use them for intimidation, alot of things. All the beheadings such as Nick Berg, Daniel Pearl, .... were done on video tape. It is standard MO for these guys. They must have left home without their own video camera before the jihad. - Jeri
Oh I do understand the training tapes. This seems to be more about truly using the social media to provoke more terror.
New twist it seems. And waiting and wanting the police to arrest them. And I just picked up that one of the killers was giving an interview.
Whoa geeze. Stranger by the minute. New age of terrorism by social media. I guess it does make sense that this would be the future of terrorist acts.
