Attempt to Assassinate World President! (short story)

Attempt to Assassinate World President! was a 21 short story printed in TV Century 21 that contained elements from the Doctor Who universe.

Notably, it was set predominantly in Unity City, a location first introduced in The Daleks comic story Duel of the Daleks.

Summary
Agent 656990 of the Universal Secret Service, better known by their self-chosen alias Professor X, discreetly infiltrates the World President's private headquarters in Unity City and places a bomb somewhere in his bedroom. Professor X then sends a message to Agent Twenty One to inform him of this deed and to gloat to him that when President Younger gets into bed the weight of his body will prime the detonator and complete the circuit, igniting the bomb and devastating the majority of the city as a result.

However, Professor X's plan is swiftly foiled and Twenty One replies that the bomb was located and rendered harmless by acting on information from undercover agents scattered around Unity City. He further states that Younger has been moved to a top-secret security block in the event of another assassination attempt.
