Live shot [Mark Steyn]
It seems Islamic terrorists posing as TV crews tried to kill the Queen at last year's Commonwealth Conference in Kampala:
Two huge outside broadcast vans belonging to the Uganda Broadcasting Corporation were seized after a tip-off from intelligence agents.
As a result, UBC was unable to transmit live pictures of key summit events, including the Queen’s historic address to the Ugandan parliament.
That sounds mighty close for comfort: An al-Qaeda subsidiary had planted its terrorist cell inside the official satellite trucks of the national broadcasting network?
Oh, well. Dr Ruhakana Rugunda, the government minister for sweeping it unda the rug, says don't lose any sleep over it:
In the end the summit was incident free and Uganda was happy to receive such distinguished guests, led by Her Majesty the Queen.
