According to various news platforms, Spanish police have confirmed that the Islamic State issued a chilling threat to all 4 Champions League quarter-finals ahead of Real Madrid’s clash with Manchester City on Tuesday night.
ISIS released a threat on Monday against all four stadiums, including Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium and Real Madrid’s Santiago Bernabeu.
The threat was issued through the Al Azaim foundation, which is often responsible for spreading messages from the terrorist organisation.
The poster includes the message ‘KILL THEM ALL’ alongside the names of all four stadiums hosting matches.
Security has thusly been boosted in the Spanish capital as two of the games are set to be played.
Spanish authorities says that “in terms of preventing the terrorist threat, the State Security Forces and Bodies have activated all their early warning and protection systems, as well as all their response mechanisms ready and willing.”
The National Police and Civil Guard are set to carry out a surveillance operation with over 2000 agents over the next 24 hours.
This comes less than 3 weeks after Islamic State attacked Crocus City Concert Hall in Moscow, killing 143 people and injuring around 200.
