Muslim radicals spit at British troops
June 16th, 2010 - 2:54 pm ICT by ANILondon, June 16 (ANI): In a bizarre incident, Muslim radicals spat at British troops taking part in a parade yesterday.
According to Daily Star, over 100 supporters of an association called the “Muslim against Crusades” hurled abuses and spat out at the soldiers of the 1st Battalion the Royal Anglian Regiment, known as “The Vikings.”
The regiment recently lost five men in Afghanistan during a six-month tour. They strongly condemned the incident.
Charlene Byrne, 24, whose partner Lance Corporal Scott Hardy, 26, was killed in an explosion, said: “It makes me so angry.”
A friend added: “The only reason these cowards are even allowed to stand here and hurl abuse is because we have brave men and women fighting abroad to protect those freedoms.” The spiiting incident took place in Barking, Essex. (ANI)
