Anthrax bombers threaten Prince William: report
LONDON, Aug 8 (AFP) -
Scottish separatists have threatened to kill Queen Elizabeth II's grandson Prince William with the deadly anthrax bio-warfare agent, British press reported Wednesday.
The campaign against Prince William has been launched by separatists who warned they could carry out the attack when he goes to St Andrews University, in Scotland, in the autumn, according to the Daily Express.
The newspaper said Scottish National Liberation Army (SNLA) activists already claim to have sent a bogus anthrax bomb to the university less than two months before the 19-year-old prince is due to start his four-year course.
Although the device was harmless, it included a type-written note marked with a codeword and the warning: "This is anthrax", the newspaper said.
Sources at the SNLA claim the anthrax hoax was posted in England on August
The group told the Daily Express: "The bio-scare will act as a reminder to the British State that the SNLA can strike at will, and that we have eyes and ears within the university.
"We can kill William, should he attend, and we will."
The militants have targeted the university, the oldest in Scotland, because they are incensed at the idea that an English heir to the throne should study there.
Formed in 1980 in response to "mass English immigration", the group has spent years making hoax bomb threats to blow up Queen Elizabeth and her daughter Princess Anne. However, it has never taken direct action.
The university and Fife police Tuesday night denied any knowledge of a package being sent to the university, according to the newspaper.
