Muslim convert behind Hyde Park plot ‘pondered terror attack on Queen’s funeral’

A homegrown terrorist considered launching a mass gun attack on the late Queen’s funeral after converting to Islam in prison, a court has heard. On September 18 last year, Little identified the Queen’s funeral – due to be held at Westminster Abbey the following day – as a possible target. It was suggested that “tyrants of the earth” would be there, to which Little responded: “I was just thinking that but unfortunately it’s too late.”

Edward Little, 22, rejected the plan as “too late” and instead decided to target a Christian preacher at Speaker’s Corner in London’s Hyde Park.
