Storm foils murder bid

London: The FBI has revealed a plot to assassinate rock icon Sir Mick Jagger by a motorcycle gang called the Hells Angels, an attempt which was thwarted as the boat of the would-be killers got swamped in a storm.

According to former FBI Special Agent Mark Young, the Hells Angels had plotted to assassinate Sir Mick after he refused to use their services following a “death” incident at Altamont Speedway Free Concert in 1969 for which the gang provided security. “The Hells Angels were so angered by Jagger’s treatment of them that they decided to kill him. They took a boat and planned the attack from the sea so that they could enter his (New York) property from the garden.

“The boat was hit by a storm and all of them were thrown overboard. All survived,” The Sunday Telegraph quoted Tom Mangold, who had interviewed Young, as saying. — PTI
