From USA Today:
Michael Adebolajo told police in an interview played Thursday at his trial that he and his co-accused decided a soldier was “the most fair target because he joins the army with kind of an understanding that your life is at risk.”
Adebolajo and Michael Adebowale are accused of running Fusilier Lee Rigby down with a car before hacking him to death with knives and a meat cleaver near Woolwich Barracks in London on May 22.
