It has been confirmed that officials from Al Qaeda are to be invited to a Slough Town Planners meeting in July in the hope that they might be encouraged to perform a series of controlled explosions in the town centre. A spokesman for Slough Town Planners defended the invitations: "It's just one of a couple of cost effective measures we are developing in these terror-round-every-corner times. Attempting to harness the power of international terrorism to improve inner-city centres is top on our list of priorities."
