United Kingdom authorities have uncovered a plot by radical British Islamists to blow up Queen Elizabeth II at a celebration next weekend marking the 70th anniversary of the end of the World War II, according to the Mail on Sunday newspaper, according to a private TV channel.
London police and security services are in "a frantic race against time to thwart the assassination plot," the newspaper said. The Queen and members of the royal family are scheduled to attend a church service and military parade in central London next Saturday to mark the 70th anniversary of Victory in Japan Day.
