British Prime Minister David Cameron says the brutal murder Wednesday of a British soldier in London will not divide his nation, or cause people to live in fear.
Two suspects killed the man on a London street and then proceeded to tell witnesses that they did it because British soldiers kill Muslims in Afghanistan.
Anchor Marco Werman discusses the attack and reaction to it with former London mayor Ken Livingstone.
