HORRIBLE, BUT IT CAN'T BE CONFIRMED – AT 10:38 A.M. ET:  An attack on the Queen?  From Britain's Sunday Express:

Police and MI5 are said to be desperately racing against the clock to foil the assassination plot by British jihadis, which is being masterminded from Syria by ISIS commanders.

The terrorists are reportedly looking to strike next Saturday by detonating a pressure cooker bomb in Central London – during events marking the 70th anniversary of Victory in Japan (VJ) day, which effectively ended World War Two.

Sources said that a specific threat has been made against the Queen, prompting police to make an urgent review of security arrangements for the events.

Other Royal Family members are due to attend the anniversary events – including Prince Charles who has been highlighted as another possible target in intelligence reports.

Police are reportedly fearing carnage on a massive scale as thousands of people are expected to line the streets around Whitehall and Westminster Abbey.

David Cameron will also be attending the events, alongside numerous dignitaries, over 1,000 veterans of the Far East campaign and their families and even members of the Armed Forces.

Senior figures of Scotland Yard's Royal Protection arm, SO14, along with S01 Specialist Protection - which provides security for the Prime Minister and dignitaries - and the Home Office have learned that attendees are considered to be "under threat from terrorist attack".

COMMENT:  We have no way to confirm the accuracy of the story, but I would not be shocked if ISIS had such a plan.  It's a logical step, from their point of view.  There were reports recently that ISIS is trying to up its game and try for mass-casualty attacks, to compete with Al Qaeda.
