Security is already expected to be tighter this year in the wake of a failed attack on the Dutch royal family last month in the Netherlands. Belgian anti-terror police official Andre Vandoren told VRT radio on Saturday that extra security measures could be taken if the threat is deemed to be serious. The 80-year-old queen is the widow of King Baudouin, who died in 1993. Baudouin was succeeded by his brother, King Albert II, while Spanish-born Fabiola kept her official title of queen. © GPD AP Belgian police say they are investigating a death threat against Queen Fabiola. A letter was sent to a Belgian newspaper by an unknown group threatening to kill Fabiola with a crossbow during July 21 Independence Day festivities in Brussels.

Why is it that anyone would announce their intent before they commit the crime. What is the purpose?

Who on earth would make such an awful and ridiculous threat like that? The poor Queen.
