Police Foil Plot to Kidnap Blair's Son

Police in Britain have foiled a plot to kidnap Prime Minister Tony Blair's five-year-old son Leo, The Sun newspaper said in a front-page article.
Good on ya, coppers.

Britain's biggest-selling daily claimed the plan was hatched by 'extremist sympathisers' of the Fathers 4 Justice group, which mounts high-profile campaigns for fathers' rights to children following custody battles.

The Sun said 'vigilante dads' aimed to kidnap Leo Blair and hold him hostage for a short period to 'highlight the plight of fathers denied access to their kids'.
Note to the would-be kidnappers: I feel your pain with regards to the whole custody thing, but kidnapping the son of THE PRIME MINISTER OF ENGLAND probably isn't going to look good for you the next time you come before a judge in your custody battle.
