The Taliban have claimed they planned to launch an attack on a helicopter carrying David Cameron, during his first visit to Afghanistan as prime minister in June, from a base in Helmand province.

Senior military figures called on Downing Street to urgently review security arrangements after reports that insurgents came closer to bringing down Cameron's helicopter than was previously thought.

The prime minister's plans were changed at the last minute when intercepts of Talibanradio messages indicated they knew which helicopter he was flying in to visit troops in the province.

What would happen had the Taliban successful downed the Prime Minister's helicopter and captured him alive, rushing him to a safe house before a rescue team can arrive?

How does the British public react when the first videos of the PM appear on YouTube with him calling for British forces to withdraw from Afghanistan? Would the UK withdraw ?
