Police to question two men after Woolwich killing

Anti-terror police in England were today preparing to question the two men shot and injured after the Woolwich soldier killing as details about their backgrounds began to emerge.

Sources said both men, who are being treated in hospital, are believed to be British citizens with Nigerian connections who converted to a radical form of Islam. But they are not thought to have links to terror groups based in Nigeria, such as the jihadist organisation Boko Haram.
