A man has admitted killing soldier Lee Rigby but said it was not murder because « I am a soldier of Allah » and « this is a war ».
Michael Adebolajo, 28, described the killing as a « military operation ».
He also told the Old Bailey he loved extremist network al-Qaeda.
The prosecution says he and Michael Adebowale, 22 – who also denies murder – rammed Fusilier Rigby with a car in Woolwich, south-east London, on 22 May, before attacking him with knives.
They are also both accused of attempting to murder a police officer and conspiracy to murder a police officer.
