Update: 2025-12-07
Description
Newly declassified documents reveal a secret missile attack on Margaret Thatchers plane in 1989, targeting her during a diplomatic mission to free Nelson Mandela. The British government kept the event quiet for decades, fearing it would harm international relations. The incident was later blamed on a drunken commander from Mozambiques ruling party, who accidentally targeted the plane. The Foreign Office chose to keep the matter private to avoid further destabilizing relations.
