Queen targeted in Africastan
It appears that there was an al Qaeda plot to kill the Queen when she addressed the Ugandan parliament last November. Stephen Brown reports on FrontPageMagazine:
In a vastly under-reported story, the Ugandan newspaper, The Monitor, claims the Allied Democratic Forces, a Ugandan Muslim terrorist organization connected with al-Qaeda, was planning to assassinate the British monarch at the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting late last November in Kampala, Uganda’s capital. The paper relates the ADF planned to steal Uganda Broadcasting Corporation vans and use them as cover to gain access to one of the venues, possibly the Ugandan parliament, which the British royal addressed on November 22, for a bomb attack.Who knew? Not, it seems, the somnambulist British media.However, the two UBC vans scheduled to broadcast the Queen’s parliamentary address, the Monitor discovered, were that day under the watchful guard of an elite Ugandan military unit. As a result, Ugandans did not see the British queen make her historic speech to their national legislature. A UBC official later said there was no broadcast because there was no money and the UBC’s equipment would not work in the parliament (the British Broadcasting Corporation’s equipment, however, somehow functioned adequately at this venue).
