Britain's counter terror police have arrested four men including one whose family is of Pakistani heritage, for allegedly plotting a murder against Queen Elizabeth II over the weekend.
According to the Huffington Post, police believe the suspected terrorists were conspiring to assassinate the Queen over the weekend as she made an appearance at the Albert Hall to celebrate the end of the First World War.
The police detained the men on Friday at locations across west London and High Wyocombe Road as routine surveillance was going on.
The 19-year old whose family is of Pakistani heritage, is believed to have previously lived in London and was arrested at an address in High Wycombe. At the same time, a 22-year-old was arrested in Hounslow at 8.45pm.
A 25-year-old was arrested in Uxbridge at 2.55am while a 27-year-old was arrested in a car in the street in Southall at 8.30pm.
