UK Newspapers Respond to Violent London Terrorist Attack

The country is still in shock.

The UK is in shock today after two Islamic extremists violently beheaded a British soldier with a machete in broad daylight in the Southeast London neighborhood of Woolwich, and then proceeded to announce that they "want to start a war in London tonight."

Footage of one of the men with bloodied hands holding a meat cleaver and a knife was released after the attack - it was filmed just moments after, and features the terrorist saying, "I apologize that women had to witness this today, but in our land our women have to see the same...You people will never be safe. Remove your government, they don't care about you." The victim, a serving soldier, was reportedly targeted for wearing a 'Help for Heroes' t-shirt.

Shortly after the footage was released, it went viral - something that's clear from the front pages of tomorrow's UK newspapers. Each paper, from The Independent to The Guardian to The Daily Mail feature a still of the man, his bloodied hands chillingly visible. Thanks to Business Insider, we've got an advance look at the front pages, which will be on stands across the UK come tomorrow morning:
