Prime Minister Cameron said that a British newspaper’s publication of data obtained by NSA leaker Edward Snowden has damaged national security; MI5 had strongly warned against such publication. Shabaab, the al Qaeda affiliate based in Somalia, released a video extolling the Woolwich murder of a UK soldier and claiming Shabaab has British fighters from all levels of British Muslim society, including men from Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Jamaica, Ethiopia, Eritrea, and Somalia. The video also shows a deceased Shabaab jihadist named Talha from London’s East End.
