London: UK police have foiled a suicide bombing plot by the Islamic State (IS) group targeting an Armed Forces Day parade on Saturday, in a bid to kill soldiers from the regiment of Lee Rigby who was killed by Islamist extremists in 2013.
The plot to explode a pressure-cooker bomb to kill soldiers and bystanders on the route was uncovered after one of its leaders in Syria unwittingly recruited an undercover investigator from the newspaper to carry it out, The Sun newspaper said.
