Prince George gets more security after ISIS threat: TMZ report

Two weeks ago a supporter of the Islamic state group, ISIS, went on trial in London. Husnain Rashid was accused of encouraging attacks on Prince George.

The threat on the boy’s life has resulted in more security for him at school and elsewhere according to TMZ. Last week, the ISIS supporter admitted his charges.

Prince George, 4, will be getting heightened security at his school, St. Thomas's Battersea. More officers will also accompany him and his grandmother, Carole Middleton (Kate's mother), during their outings together.

Prosecutors revealed that the terrorist responsible for these added measures was Husnain Rashid, 32. He was a former mosque teacher in northwest England.

Rashid provided an ‘e-toolkit for terrorism.’ The former teacher had encouraged attacks on a range of targets, including ‘injecting poison into supermarket ice creams and targeting Prince George at his first school.’

The Guardian reported that one of Rashid's posts included a photo of George and his school. It included a message where he threatened the Royal Family.

‘Even the royal family will not be left alone.’
