Cruise liner recieves 'security threat' in Egypt

Police in boats and on the quay guarded the Queen Elizabeth 2 as it docked in the north Egyptian port of Alexandria today after a security threat against the British-built cruise liner.

The ship’s owners, Cunard, and the British Department of Transport said in separate statements they had received “information concerning the security” of the Queen Elizabeth 2, but they declined to disclose the type of threat.
