Islamic State's chilling threat to Champions League quarterfinals
ISIS reminds us of itself again. The Islamic State has posted a graphic online suggesting the possibility of a terrorist attack at one of the football stadiums. "Kill them all" was written ahead of the quarterfinal matches of the Champions League, set to take place in England, France, and Spain.
Meanwhile, just before the competition, there was disturbing news. It's about the Islamic State threatening an attack during the Champions League quarter-final matches.
The Islamic State threatens an attack in the Champions League quarterfinals. It publishes a picture with the slogan "Kill them all" and the names of four stadiums, where the game will unfold this week - reports the Spanish service ondacero.es.
Four locations have been mentioned: Emirates Stadium, Parc des Princes, Wanda Metropolitano, and Santiago Bernabeu. The matches on these grounds are Arsenal London—Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain—FC Barcelona, Atletico Madrid—Borussia Dortmund, and Real Madrid—Manchester City.
Spain reacts to the threat
Even so, services do not take such signals lightly. For example, the fourth level of a five-tier terror alert system has been established in Spain. The same goes for England and France, where services thoroughly check fans and stadium areas.
