Next weekend, the United Kingdom will be holding a celebration to mark the anniversary of the end of WWII, but according to reports, a group of terrorists have made plans to sully this joyous event by attempting to assassinate Queen Elizabeth II!
According to a report by The Daily Mail, a terrorist cell operating out of Syria is plotting to set off a pressure cooker bomb in London where the celebration is set to take place. While the Queen was been specifically named as a target, the bomb would also likely result in mass casualties in the surrounding area. Police and MI5 have been scrambling to thwart the plans in time to prevent the attack.
