Al-Qaeda Plotting Attack on London's New Year Celebrations
(Telegraph-UK) Sean Rayment - British security chiefs believe al-Qaeda may target New Year celebrations across Britain. A "restricted" report has been distributed to every military base in Britain warning that "crowded places or events" are under "a severe threat" of attack from terrorist bombers. The report warns that military personnel and establishments within the Government Security Zone in central London, which includes Horse Guards in Whitehall, and Buckingham and St James's Palaces, face a "substantial" threat of attack. Military bases across the country are also facing a similar threat.
