British Prime Minister David Cameron has flown back to London, cutting short a trip to France, to lead the government response to a suspected terror attack in south-east London, BBC reported.

Two men have been arrested after a man, thought to be a soldier, died in a machete attack near Woolwich Barracks.

The PM is to chair a Cobra emergency response committee meeting attended by politicians, the UK's most senior police officer and the new head of MI5.

Meanwhile, security has been increased at barracks across London.

Two suspects shot and wounded by police after the attack - which took place in John Wilson Street, the A205, at 14:20 BST - have spent the night under arrest in hospital.

One is in a serious condition while the other is also being treated for injuries.

Eyewitnesses say the victim was hacked to death by two men shouting Islamist slogans.

The men made no attempt to flee and encouraged people to take pictures of them and their victim.
