Threats of an Islamic State attack on Paris Saint-Germain’s (PSG) Parc des Princes soccer stadium during the upcoming PSG-Barcelona match prompted French police on Wednesday to implement heightened security measures.
Preparing to host the Olympics
As Paris prepares to host the Olympics this summer, security concerns regarding a potential mass casualty terror attack have surged following the recent attacks of ISIS-Khorasan, or ISIS-K, the newly reinvigorated Afghan branch of the Islamic State.
Responsible for last month’s attack on a Moscow concert hall that left hundreds of people dead, ISIS-KK and the umbrella Islamic State organization itself have also been reportedly urging followers online to utilize new terror tactics to evade detection, such as using drones.
