British Prime Minister David Cameron called the incident a terrorist attack. A camera clip recorded by the attackers showed a man speaking in a London accent and holding a meat cleaver.

"We swear by almighty Allah we will never stop fighting until you leave us alone," one of the men said. "The only reasons we killed this man -- this is because Muslims are dying daily."

A cell phone video obtained by ITN showed a man wielding a cleaver. He apologized to a group of women for killing the man in London, but said that women in his country have to see the same thing.

Cameron tweeted his response.
