Four Islamic extremists arrested for plotting to kill the Queen
An alleged plot to kill the Queen of England was foiled by British police, it was reported Friday.
Four Islamic terror suspects had hatched a murderous plan to stab the 88-year-old monarch, according to The Sun (subscription).
Queen Elizabeth was due to attend a military event at Royal Albert Hall, the British paper reported.
It was a lead up event for Remembrance Sunday, which commemorates the end of WWI in 1918.
The attack was planned for Friday, but cops arrested four Islamic terrorist suspects the night before in separate raids, according to The Sun.
The cops got wind of an alleged plot to try and kill the Queen at the Royal British Legion Festival at Albert Hall, the paper said.
The four suspects are between 19 and 27 years old. They were going to use a knife as their weapon, The Sun said.
But cops also suspect they had access to firearms, it was reported.
The raids occurred in West London and Buckinghamshire, The Sun and the BBC said.
Both the Queen and Prime Minister David Cameron were informed of the potential threat, the paper said.
Queen Elizabeth will still attend the Sunday Remembrance festivities as planned, The Sun said.
The monarch will still lay the first wreath to “The Glorious Dead” following the two-minute silence, the paper reported.
