Actually I think the fact that they caught these guys (who basically never had a chance of carrying out a knife attack anyway) - is very REASSURING.

I think it's frightening that there are people are want to harm world leaders.

I'm sure there have been threats against the Queen numerous times.

I think people have wanted to harm leaders since the days of the cavemen.

It happens all the time!

Nothing new.

Very frightening! Why would someone be so dismissive of that?

Once again, while they did take four men suspected of terrorism plots in connection with Remembrance Day, no reputable news source has said this plot involves the Queen. It really bothers me when rumor and gossip is accepted as "news".

it's still a developing story but here is another source

http://au.ibtimes.com/articles/572097/20141108/british-police-thwart-4-young-islamic-terrorists.htm

"Four young Islamic terrorists planned to assassinate Queen Elizabeth by stabbing her at the Royal British Legion Festival, a military party held in Royal Albert Hall. The event is scheduled on Saturday, Nov 8."

I've talked to my friends in England and there has been no mention of a plot to assassinate the Queen on reputable news outlets such as the BBC, ITV, Sky, The Times, The Telegraph. All of the "news" sources on this go back to the Sun which is known for printing sensationalism and gossip.

England has VERY different rules than we do about the press and what they can and cannot say concerning the royals.

how long did it take for us to find out he extent of the man who got into the white house? how long did it take us to find out that shots were fired at the upstairs residence of the president back in 2011?
