Elements of the US government ‘planned to assassinate Margaret Thatcher’.
In February 1981, an ‘FBI source’ overheard two men discussing a ‘hit’ during a visit to the USA by Thatcher.
Suspects were identified, but their names were redacted in the files released on 9 December 2014.
Thatcher’s 1981 visit to New York and Washington, where she was to collect an honorary degree from Georgetown University, passed without incident.
In an interview with The Guardian on 9 January 1984, former UK government minister Enoch Powell claimed that the Americans murdered Lord Mountbatten and Margaret Thatcher’s friend Airey Neave.
Powell claimed the evidence came from a member of the Royal Ulster Constabulary with whom he had a conversation.
Lord Mountbatten was rumoured to have been a visitor to Northern Ireland’s Kincora children’s home which “was run as a virtual gay brothel by loyalist leaders and MI5.”

In the USA, in November 1982, five men were acquitted of smuggling arms to the IRA after they revealed that the CIA had approved the shipment.[98]
On 12 October 1984, a bomb went off at the Grand Hotel in Brighton, England.
The bomb, planted by Patrick Magee, a member of the Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA), was intended to kill Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and her cabinet, who were staying at the hotel for the Conservative Party conference.
