Islamic terror plot to assassinate British PM Theresa May thwarted, report
says
An Islamic terror plot to assassinate British Prime Minister Theresa May in
London has been thwarted, according to a report out Tuesday.
The plan was "in essence an extreme Islamist suicide plot against Downing
Street" by two men who have now been arrested, Sky News reported.
10 Downing Street is the location of the prime minister's office.
Police believe "the plan was to launch some sort of improvised explosive
device at Downing Street and in the ensuing chaos attack and kill Theresa
May," according to the report.
Scotland Yard, military intelligence security service MI5 and West Midlands
Police reportedly had been investigating the plot for "several weeks."
The two men who were arrested on Nov. 28 for the foiled plot are Naa'imur
Zakariyah Rahman, 20, of north London, and Mohammed Aqib Imran, 21, of
Birmingham, according to a Metropolitan Police news release.
Both Rahman and Imran were charged with the intention of committing acts of
terrorism and are expected to appear in Westminster Magistrates' Court on
Wednesday.
MI5 has prevented nine terror attacks in the U.K. within the past year,
Director Andrew Parker said Tuesday, according to The Guardian.
