Britain's intelligence agencies reportedly tried to recruit soldier's killer

LONDON - Britain's intelligence services were under pressure Saturday to explain their knowledge of two Islamists suspected of hacking a soldier to death in London, amid claims they had tried to recruit one of them.

Michael Adebolajo, 28, and Michael Adebowale, 22 -- who remained under armed guard in hospital after being shot by police at the scene -- were known to the intelligence services but were reportedly assessed as not posing a deadly threat.
