'London Terrorist' Michael Adebolajo

British media has identified the two London attackers as British born Nigerians Michael Adebolajo and Michael Adebowale. Adebolajo is 28 years old with a link to a banned militant group, Islam 4 UK. Michael "Mujaheed" Adebolajo or Michael Olumide Adebolajo and the other attacker were arrested in Woolwich and remain hospitalized in police custody. The other is 22 year old Michael Adebowale.

Several sources dismiss their relationship with the Nigerian Boko Haram. According to the BBC, Adebolajo comes from a Christian family and converted to Islam after leaving to study sociology in 2001. Sources describe him as "bright and intelligent" in college.

Adebolajo in a video released by ITV, justified his action with a speech interpreted in jihadist as."We swear by Allah the Merciful that will never stop fighting you, the only reason we did this is because there are Muslims who die each day, the death of this soldier is an eye for an eye, tooth for tooth," he says, before demanding "the return of our troops home."
The presence of Western troops in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan is one of the justifications usually peaked by groups and individuals of jihadist inspiration.

Other sources quoted by the British media say that both suspects were already known to British intelligence.
