Islamic State Rears Its Ugly Head With Latest Terror Threat
9th April 2024
Less than a month after it claimed responsibility for the major terror attack on Moscow Concert Hall, which saw at least 139 Russian civilians killed, Islamic State (IS) has threatened to target a list of major football venues.
A post circulated by the Al-Azaim Foundation, the terror group’s de facto media outlet, called for attacks on UEFA Champions League football games ahead of the event’s quarter-finals.
Spanish officials say they have activated all of their “alert” and “response systems” ahead of Manchester City’s match against Real Madrid tonight, on April 7th. Threats have also been made against Arsenal’s home game with Bayern Munich at the Emirates Stadium, also tonight.
