An Islamic State terrorist organization splinter cell planned a shooting attack on Real Madrid fans and players, the newspaper ‘El Confidencial’ revealed on Monday.
Plan of attack
A poster showed the words “Brother. Wait in a place near the players’ arrival point. Aim at them along with their supporters,” alongside a picture of a hooded man opening fire with a rifle, the target set on the Real Madrid bus.
The attack, planned on Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, was thwarted and nine people, including residents from Girona, Cadiz, and Almeria, were arrested.
