FBI documents reveal the assassination plot against Queen Elizabeth in 1983.

A new report from the Federal Bureau of Investigation in the United States describes an attempt to kill the late Queen Elizabeth II during her visit to California in 1983.

The FBI learned of the plot on February 4, 1983, a month before the monarch and her late husband, Prince Philip, were scheduled to make an official visit to the United States.

The threats were made by a man seeking retribution for his daughter who was “killed in Northern Ireland by a rubber bullet,” according to the documents that were made accessible on the Bureau’s information website, the Vault.

Following a Freedom of Information Act request made to the Bureau by US news media following the queen’s passing last year, the documents were made publicly available earlier this week.

The 102-paged document partly read , “He was going to attempt to harm Queen Elizabeth and would do this either by dropping some object off the Golden Gate Bridge onto the Royal Yacht Britannia when it sails underneath, or would attempt to kill Queen Elizabeth when she visited Yosemite National Park.”

The Queen’s Yacht was approaching the area when the Secret Service decided to close the walkways on the Golden Gate Bridge as a response. Her Majesty visited without any apparent problems despite the threat.

The Queen has experienced a number of assassination attempts during the course of her long reign. Most recently, in December 2021, a guy by the name of Jaswant Singh Chail entered Windsor Castle armed with a crossbow and informed authorities that his goal was to assassinate the monarch.

Chail, who was 19 at the time, released a TikTok video of himself discussing his intentions to exact revenge on the British for the Amritsar massacre in India in 1919 less than an hour before he was apprehended.

On September 8, 2022, nine months after the tragedy, the Queen passed away.

Chail was charged with attempting to “injure the person of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, making threats to kill, and possessing an offensive weapon. He was arraigned in February 2023 and entered a plea of guilty.
