ROYAL WEDDING WORRIES – AT 8:38 A.M. ET:  And you thought we had security worries.  The royal wedding will be held in London next week, and Con Coughlin, resident terror expert at the Telegraph, is worried:

I hate to sound a sour note on what otherwise promises to be a truly joyful occasion, but for those responsible for ensuring the Royal Wedding goes off without incident the event is proving to be something of a security nightmare.

The Government’s decision to ban a protest planned by Muslims Against Crusades has highlighted the fact that not everyone in this fair isle wishes the happy couple well...

...I’m told that in Yemen the al-Qaeda cell run by Anwar al-Awlaki is working day and night to launch a terror attack against the UK (this is the group behind the ink cartridge bombs discovered at East Midlands Airport at the end of last year). So it is logical that the group would want to take advantage of the mass crowds gathering in London to launch an attack.

COMMENT:  The wedding is an obvious terror target, and remember to include the IRA as a group Coughlin is worried about.  Britain has become a center for Islamist extremism, and will be a target again as London hosts the 2012 summer Olympics. 

Not everyone wishes the royal couple well.  Security is very tight in London and growing tighter. 

...we should give our security forces all the help and support they need to make sure that is the case. That means we must all be vigilant, and report any suspicious activity immediately to the appropriate authorities.

Yes indeed.
