The two men accused of murdering British soldier Lee Rigby are to appear in court.
The two men accused of murdering British soldier Lee Rigby in the Woolwich area of southeast London are to appear in court, media reports say.
Michael Adebolajo from Romford in Essex and Michael Adebowale from Greenwich in southeast London are charged with killing Rigby in Woolwich on May 22.
Adebolajo is also suspected of possession of a firearm and attempted murder of two police officers.
The two suspects will appear via videolink at the Central Criminal Court of England and Wales, known as the Old Bailey, on September 27, for a plea and case management hearing.
Earlier in July, Adebolajo™s relatives accused prison warders of assaulting the 28-year-old boy, saying the prison officers had been œvery hostile towards him”.
Attacks against Muslims have steadily risen in the UK following the killing of the machine gunner Rigby.
The latest in a series of incidents took place with a bomb threat against the prominent East London mosque in Whitechapel on Wednesday.
The police received an anonymous call which carried the bomb threat in the mosque or the neighboring London Muslim Centre just before the midday prayer. Hundreds of people were evacuated from the mosques following the bomb scare.
