It looks like British prime minister David Cameron has a new group of foes to contend with. According to sources, they have cunning, stealth and a strong desire to force their way into the famous Downing Street home in London.
It's not the opposition Labor Party worrying the British leader, but rats-- larges ones seen scuttling outside the door of his official residence. The rodents have twice been filmed by TV news crews in recent days, prompting Cameron to bring in a specialist rat-catcher and consider whether Downing Street needs a new pet cat. Previous prime ministers have appointed a "Chief Mouser", with the last holder of the office (a male cat called Humphrey) retiring in 1997.
The last known rat at 10 Downing Street was known to have vacated the premises in June of 2007.
