British Prime Minister Theresa May was reportedly the target of a foiled terrorism plot.
Andrew Parker, the head of MI5, Britain's domestic intelligence agency, briefed Cabinet ministers on the alleged plot pm Tuesday, Sky News reports.
The extremist Islamist plot involved a bomb attack on Downing Street, the prime minister's residence, and an attempt to kill May in the ensuing chaos, Sky reported.
There was no official response to the report, which comes hours after police said they had charged two men with terrorist offences.
Naa'imur Zakariyah Rahman, 20, and Mohammed Aqib Imran, 21, were arrested in raids by counter-terrorism police last week and are due to appear in a London court on Wednesday.
