British jihadists aligned with the group ISIS have been planning an attack on Queen Elizabeth II and are coordinating a plot to kill the British monarch at a ceremony next week commemorating the end of World War II.

According to the Daily Mail, the terrorists are planning to explode a pressure cooker bomb--a device similar to that which was used in the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing-- at the ceremony to be held next Saturday and British intelligence is scrambling to thwart the plot, which they believe is being organized in Syria.

Unnamed sources told the paper that a specific threat was made against the queen, as well as Prince Charles.  Other British dignitaries such as Prime Minister David Cameron are also scheduled to be in attendance at the event along with thousands of British veterans and citizens  

As a result of the threat, security for the event has been heightened significantly.

Despite the threat, British authorities are encouraging citizens to continue with their plans to attend next weekend's event.

“While the U.K. threat level from international terrorism remains severe, we would like to reassure the public that we constantly review security plans for public events, taking into account specific intelligence and the wider threat,” said a British, Metropolitan police spokesman.

The spokesman also noted that those who are planning to carry out the attack are British nationals returning from terrorist training in Iraq and Syria.

Buckingham Palace has yet to comment on the alleged threat.
