\"Drummer<\/a><\/h1>\n

Michael Adebolajo\u00a0accused of murdering Drummer Lee Rigby in Woolwich has been remanded for a bail hearing within 48 hours.<\/h1>\n

Michael Adebolajo, 28, whose left arm is bandaged, told the\u00a0Westminster Magistrates’ Court he wanted to be known as Mujaheed Abu Hamza.<\/p>\n

He also blew kisses to friends in the public gallery.<\/p>\n

Adebolajo, of\u00a0Romford, Essex, is also charged with the attempting murders of two police officers.<\/p>\n

His co-accused Michael Adebowale, 22, from Greenwich, southeast London, is due to appear at the Old Bailey via video link shortly.<\/p>\n

It comes as David Cameron is expected to make a Commons statement about Drummer Rigby’s killing when MPs return from their half-term break.<\/p>\n

Drummer Rigby was hacked to death near Woolwich Barracks in southeast London as he walked back to base on May 22 after a day working at the Tower of London.<\/p>\n

An inquest into Drummer Rigby’s death found he suffered “extensive and serious” injuries and had to be identified by a dental expert.<\/p>\n

The short hearing at Southwark Coroner’s Court on Friday was told he was hit by a car before being attacked by two men armed with a cleaver and a knife.<\/p>\n

People across the country subsequently paid their respects to Drummer Rigby, with floral tributes marking the scene of his death.<\/p>\n

But this weekend also saw clashes between rival protesters outside the Houses of Parliament, despite pleas from police and the soldier’s family not to use the death for political gain.<\/p>\n

On Saturday around 300 Unite Against Fascism (UAF) members gathered in Parliament Square to block the British National Party (BNP) from marching to the Cenotaph.<\/p>\n

Fierce shouting from both sides spilled into violence and dozens of police were required to break up the disorder.<\/p>\n

Scotland Yard said 58 people from the UAF protest were arrested under section 14 of the Public Order Act after they refused to move to their pre-arranged protest pen in Whitehall.<\/p>\n

Protests by the Scottish Defence League (SDL) and anti-racism campaigners took place in Edinburgh’s Old Town.<\/p>\n

The SDL held a static protest outside the Scottish Parliament, while UAF organised its own counter-protest.<\/p>\n

Small groups of EDL supporters gathered across England, including in Sheffield, Brighton, Luton, Colchester and Walsall.<\/p>\n

The Prime Minister will address MPs after chairing the first meeting of a new anti-terrorism task force he ordered to be set up as a result of the Woolwich attack.<\/p>\n

The Cabinet level group, which will also bring in intelligence and police chiefs when needed, will focus on radical preachers who target potential recruits in jails, schools, colleges and mosques.<\/p>\n

It will monitor trends in radicalisation and tackle “poisonous narratives”, No 10 said.<\/p>\n

Other members include Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg, Home Secretary Theresa May, Chancellor George Osborne, other key Cabinet ministers, Metropolitan Police commissioner Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe and Andrew Parker, the director general of the Security Service.<\/p>\n

Downing Street said it would be an “exploratory meeting”.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
