Oh, no, not Harry! A homeless man has pleaded guilty to attempting to kill Prince Harry, British authorities said on Sunday. Ashraf Islam, 30, was arrested on May 23 after he entered a police station and issued threats against the 28-year-old prince. The incident occurred just one day after a British soldier was hacked to death on a street in Woolwich, on the outskirts of London. Harry is a captain in the Army Air Corps and has served twice in Afghanistan.
