Al Queda threatens to kill team members in the 2010 Soccer World Cup

[quote]AL Qaeda has put the American and British soccer teams directly in its cross hairs, circulating word online that the athletes are prime targets for an attack at the World Cup Games in South Africa in June, FOXNews.com reports.
The threats from al Qaeda target a range of teams competing at the World Cup, but the June 12 USA vs. England match, scheduled for live broadcast, is the terrorists’ top priority, according to threats published in an online Jihadist magazine.
“The game … is broadcast live. The stadium is full of a Crusader audience while the sound of a blast shocks the stands and turns the stadium on its head. God willing, there will [be] dozens and hundreds of casualties. 50 grams alone are sufficient for such an operation,” reads a post on the online magazine.
The South African Ministry of Police said it was aware of the threats, and the US State Department’s Bureau of Diplomatic Security said it was providing support as the host country beefs up security in preparation for the tournament.
"Diplomatic Security's Office of Anti-Terrorism Assistance has provided training to the South African Police Service in the run up to the 2010 World Cup," a Diplomatic Security official said in a statement to FoxNews.com.
The jihadist article said al Qaeda will focus on striking countries taking part in the “Zionist-Crusader campaign on Islam,” and it specifically mentioned the American, British, Nigerian, Slovenian, French, German and Italian teams as targets. The jihadist author, Ubada bin Al-Samit, said nothing could be done to prevent the attack.
South African Police Minister Nathi Mthethwa said his force has been preparing for any potential threats since 2004.[/quote]

Shit just got real.
Soccer players always causing drama.
I love how rational they sound in the article. "God willing, there will be dozens and hundreds of casulaties." Clearly the comment of a sane group.
ball go boom
Al Quaeda is a bunch if hairy little girls who obviously have something wrong with them.
Sounds like a prelude to some extreme action movie with soccer as its plot.
im down baby you down
A bunch of broke middle easterners are going to travel all the way to South Africa where all the countries with real armies are to commit a crime that they already warned everyone about?
Flawless plan.

It's strategies like this that wins wars.

sounds like something I would watch
Where will they hide the bomb on the streaker?
seriously? do they have anything better to do?
Hahahaha fuckin' soccer?
And nothing of value[I] would [/I]be lost.
How are we going to be able to tell the difference between an Al-Queda attack and the normal soccer-related violence?

Football is the biggest sport in the world so i think quite the lot of people [i]would[/i] be disapointed

Except the apparent hundreds of casualties

[QUOTE=Gummylamb;21259966]Except the apparent hundreds of casualties[/QUOTE]
Nothing is going to happen.

That's just what they want you to think
[QUOTE=Sleepy Head;21259816]seriously? do they have anything better to do?[/QUOTE]
Al Qaeda decided not to attack the soccer game because they found an old box of Jenga

This is just their weekly threat which the media gobbles up and spits at us to make us all terrified.

^ They do this all the time.
As said before they are all talk. 9/11 was their only huge success at an oversea terrorism attack. If they were going to do something big again they would probably try to keep it under the radar anyway. (Well, that is assuming they have brains...)

nah basically after 9/11 they can yell "boo" and keep us scared, thus fulfilling their goal as terrorists. Everyone pretend to be scarred so they don't fuck with us for real.
