In Uganda, thus knowingly or inadvertently paving the way for the Defender of the Faiths. “Al-Qaida terrorists planned to kill the Queen,” from NEWS.com.au (thanks to Rosie):
A PLOT by al-Qaida operatives to kill the Queen during a state visit to Uganda less than two months ago was foiled by security services.
The terrorists had planned to hide inside two broadcast vans owned by the Ugandan Broadcasting Corporation and then set off bombs during the Queen’s visit to Kampala last November.
London’s Sunday Express reported the vans were seized after a tip-off from intelligence agents.
As a result, the broadcaster was unable to transmit live pictures of key summit events, including the Queen’s historic address to the Ugandan parliament on November 22.
