Plot for killing Theresa May foiled by MI5 and police

MI5 and British police foiled an alleged plot to kill Prime Minister Theresa May at Downing Street one of nine alleged terror assaults to be stopped by the security services since the Westminster attack in March.

Two men have been charged with a plot to kill the British Prime Minister and a court hearing on the case is expected on Wednesday.

The Two men planned to blow up security barriers outside Ms. May’s Downing Street office and then stab the British leader to death.

Nine of the plots have been uncovered following an attack outside the British parliament in March in which five people were killed, Ms. Rudd said.

“The U.K. is facing an intense threat from terrorism, one which is multi-dimensional, evolving rapidly and operating at a scale and pace we have not seen before,” London’s Metropolitan Police said on Tuesday.
