Plot to kill UK PM Theresa May foiled

British Security services have foiled a plot to assassinate Prime Minister Theresa May in Downing Street.

Two men have been arrested on suspicion of plotting to kill the Prime Minister by using a bomb to blow off the gates of Downing Street and then attack her with knives.

The suspects were detained during raids in London and Birmingham last week and are charged with terrorism offences. They are due to appear in Westminster Magistrates' Court today.
