Assassination attempt on Dutch Royal Family - injuries as car crashes close to royal bus

At least 14 people have been injured in a serious incident during the Royal family's visit to Apeldoorn to celebrate Queen's Day. One person is said to have died. TV pictures show a heavily-damaged black car driving through the barriers erected to keep the crowd under control, close to the bus carrying queen Beatrix and the rest of her family. Nothing happened to the Royal family as the car missed its apparent target and ran into a fenced-off pillar.The Dutch tv said it is difficult to find out more about the incident because the use of mobile phones has been banned. All festivities have been canceled. The Royal family has retreated to their respective residence. There will be a press conference later today.
