Buckingham Palace was closed yesterday due to a bomb threat. Irish Republican dissidents and not the Taliban were responsible for the threat. No bombs were found outside the palace, but an abandoned suitcase was detonated outside of a nearby hotel. 120 guards will accompany the Queen to Dublin later this week.
