North African Islamic terrorist group threatens FIFA World Cup

Pretoria - The North African terrorist group, Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM), has threatened to attack the upcoming FIFA Soccer World Cup in South Africa.

CBS News reports the terrorist group made the threat on the radical online website Mushtaqun Lel Jannah (Longing for Paradise). According to CBS, the statement reads:

How amazing could the match United States vs. Britain be when broadcasted live on air at a stadium packed with spectators when the sound of an explosion rumbles through the stands, the whole stadium is turned upside down and the number of dead bodies are in their dozens and hundreds, Allah willing.

The statement adds:

Al Qaeda, who managed to deliver 50 grams of explosives to the Detroit plane, after infiltrating dozens of US security barriers, Al Qaeda, who enabled brother martyr Abul Kheir (Abdullah Asiri) to get into the palace of Mohammed bin Nayef, Al Qaeda, who humiliated the world's greatest intelligence apparatus through the operation of Mujahid Abu Dujana al-Khorassani (Humam al-Balawi), who shattered the pride of the CIA and the Jordanian intelligence combined. Al Qaeda will have a presence in the games, Allah willing

. Not only the US and Britain, but other countries are on the hit list of the terrorist group, including France, Germany and Italy:

All those countries are part of the Zionist-Crusader campaign against Islam.

CBS said the group appeared to directly challenge FIFA’s president Joseph ”Sepp” Blatter:

All the security checks and X-ray machines that America will be sending after reading this article would not be capable of detecting how those explosives made it into the stadium and that for a simple reason that we will be announcing in due course. So are your preparations for this event up to scratch, Mr. Platter? (sic)

There has been no response to the threat from South African security agencies.
