They planned to do it with knives, maybe with a beheading in mind? http://www.buzzfeed.com/davidmack/british-police-arrest-men-over-reported-plot-to-kill-queen

In a statement, Scotland Yard said it arrested the men — aged 19, 22, 25, and 27 — on Thursday and Friday in west London as part of an ongoing investigation into “Islamist related terrorism.”

“The men have been arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the Commission, Preparation or Instigation of acts of Terrorism,” the Metropolitan police statement read.

The newspaper The Sun reported the men had been planning a knife attack on the 88-year-old monarch.

The tabloid claimed the attack had been planned for the Royal British Legion Festival, an event to commemorate British military deaths, scheduled for Saturday Nov. 8, at the Royal Albert Hall.

No shots were fired during the police operation to detain the men, who remain in custody, according to the statement.

The world is going to hell in a hand basket! It breaks my heart that our grandchildren are growing up in this world. What will it be like when they are our age?
 

As hard as it may sound, I stopped being shocked or surprised at these type of headlines years ago.

We have lived with terroists of one sort or another for years in this country.

Sorry I don't mean to sound negative but that's just the way it is for me on this subject.
 
They try to abuse our war heroes every year..by urinating against the war memorials...defacing them with spray paint..

The idea that they would assassinate the Queen..with the security that surrounds her..is infantile...

Since when does everyone believe what any news outfits say?
Usually after a week or so the whole story changes 3-4 times before they get it right.

Yes, the details might well change. However, the point was that the first post was a report from a rag called the Sun which is know for inventing stories. I'll believe BBC over the Sun any day.
 
But according to the BBC report I have read..............Scotland Yard has refused to comment on suggestions that the commemorations were the target of any plot.

The BBC did not say the Queen was the target and so far Scotland Yard has given nothing away.
 
I didn't think it was false, and not familiar with the Sun...but I have no doubt it's true, and am not surprised. Not shocked either, we've seen things like this in the past, and the future will likely get much worse. In times like these, I'm glad I don't have any children or grandchildren to worry about.

Guess it was elsewhere as I looked at several sites to confirm what the Sun claimed.

The Sun is similar to the National Enquirer.
 
That's kind of pathetic in my opinion. Queen Elizabeth is a symbol of the UK, NOT the West! Guess the USA (THE TRUE WEST) unfortunately, has a symbol of the EAST as a figurehead. The royals have a long history of being assassination targets, I am sure she is nonplussed and sipping her tea. She has the world's tightest security around her. I am sure she is not surprised in the least. ISIS is a big playground bully and will implode and self-destruct shortly. Notice how Obama is never targeted? HE is the one who needs to be removed, and FAST. I'm a pacifist, to be sure. But the current administration is just sitting around smoking hookah and enjoying their address.
