    LONDON, Jan. 18 (Xinhuanet) -- British police have foiled a plot to kidnap British Prime Minister Tony Blair's 5-year-old son, the Sun newspaper reported in its Wednesday edition.

    Citing an unnamed security source, the newspaper said "extremist sympathizers" of the Fathers 4 Justice group which campaigns for the rights of divorced fathers had planned to snatchthe child and hold him for a short period.

    It said that exact details of the plot were not revealed.

    The Sun said security services had reviewed the protection given to Blair and his wife Cherie and their four children after the alleged plot was uncovered just before Christmas. "Appropriatesteps have now been taken," a security source was quoted as saying. Enditem
