"Champions League Quarterfinals Proceed Despite ISIS Terror Threat"

ISIS has called for attacks on major UEFA Champions League games ahead of the quarter-finals, listing London's Emirates Stadium, Paris's Parc de Prince, and the Santiago Bernabéu and Metropolitano arenas in Madrid as targets. The group's post, issued via its media outlet, included an image with the words "Kill Them All" and a black-clad man holding a firearm. While ISIS is not known for telegraphing its attacks in advance, it has previously targeted sports venues. The recent attack on the Crocus concert hall near Moscow, claimed by ISIS-Khorasan, is one of the deadliest in the group's history, but the Russian government has tried to blame it on other countries to distract from claims it was warned of the attack in advance.
