| Subject: Unfortunately, plot to assassinate Theresa May foiled Wed Dec 06, 2017 12:48 am | |
| U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May was the target of an assassination attempt by Islamist militants that was broken up last week with the arrests of two men, Sky News reported.
Police believe the plotters planned to detonate an improvised explosive device at the prime minister’s Downing Street offices and kill May in the chaos, Sky reported, citing people it didn’t identify. Andrew Parker, director general of the MI5 security service, briefed cabinet ministers on the plot, Sky said.
A weeks-long investigation into the case culminated last week with the arrests of two men on charges of preparing acts of terrorism, according to the report.
