ISIS threatens terrorist attacks in the stadiums of the Champions League quarterfinals
ISIS has threatened to attack the four stadiums that will host the Champions League quarter-final first leg match.
“Al Azaim” – the media organization responsible for spreading the messages of the Islamic State – published an image of a poster threatening attacks on the sports facilities “Parc des Princes”, “Santiago Bernabeu”, “Wanda Metropolitano” and “Emirates”.
The message was short, but very clear: “Kill them all!”. The threat from ISIS came after the radical Islamic organization’s affiliated media outlet, Sarh al-Khilafah, published an image on March 30 calling for attacks on fans who were at Munich’s Allianz Arena to watch the match between Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund.
Meanwhile, following the new threat, authorities in Madrid have activated strict security procedures for the Real Madrid-Manchester City and Atletico-Borussia Dortmund Champions League matches.
Both challenges have been declared high risk by the Anti-Violence Commission and will have the presence of over 3,000 members of the security forces.
Almost 8,000 Manchester City and Borussia Dortmund fans are also expected in the Spanish capital.
