Woolwich: Michael Adebolajo Assaulted In Jail

Woolwich murder suspect Michael Adebolajo has been assaulted in prison, according to Sky sources.
Adebolajo, 28, of Romford, Essex, and Michael Adebowale, 22, of Greenwich, London, are both charged with the murder of Drummer Lee Rigby in May.
A statement from the Metropolitan Police said: "We can confirm that an allegation of assault was passed to the MPS on the 17th July by Belmarsh prison. An investigation has been started."
Drummer Rigby was hacked to death in broad daylight as he returned to Woolwich barracks from the Tower of London on May 22.
His funeral took place last week with thousands of people lining the streets of Bury to pay their respects.
Adebolajo and Adebowale are due to stand trial at the Old Bailey on November 18 charged with his murder.
They are also charged with possession of a firearm with intent to cause others to believe that violence would be used.
Adebolajo, who was shot by armed officers at the scene of Drummer Rigby's death, is further charged with the attempted murder of two police officers.
The pair will appear at the Old Bailey for a plea and case management hearing on September 27.
