THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: Eton College and The Ritz hotel were on a hit list of British targets found on the dead body of a senior al-Qaeda leader according to reports.
The high-profile targets were found on the body of Fazul Abdullah Mohammed, the network's commander in East Africa, after he was shot dead last week in Somalia.
Discovery of the list prompted security services to hold a summit with Government ministers and warn the school.
America's security services have also issued a warning to major hotel chains.
Mohammad was on the United States' list of 26 most wanted terrorists and had a £3.5 million bounty on his head for his role in the 1998 bomb attacks on US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania which killed 224.
He is also believed to have masterminded attacks on the Paradise Hotel in Mombasa and a missile strike on an Israeli charter flight in 2002. » | Ben Farmer, in Kabul | Thursday, June 16, 2011
