Prime Minister David Cameron and wife Samantha
According to reports, the Taliban planned to kill newly elected British Prime Minister, David Cameron, during his visit to Afghanistan, to speak to the troops. They sought to shoot down his aircraft. Radio chatter picked up by Britain, exposed the plot and led to a change of plans, saving Cameron's life.
Thankfully, the attack did not happen, as that would have been terrible. The incident opened the government's eyes to the level of surveillance the terrorist group maintains in the region and the type of weaponry in their possession.
