5 Things that could disrupt Rio Olympics 2016
Terror Threat
Another major problem faced by Rio Olympics 2016 is the terror threat. There is a credible threat for Rio Olympics from ISIS, the Brazil anti-terror chief has admitted. In fact, one of the recent tweets from an ISIS executioner read as “Brazil, you are our next target”. Earlier in May, it was reported that one of the brothers of Belgium’s attack was hiding in Brazil and could launch an attack as Olympics approaches.
Moreover, there a few locals who sympathize with these terrorists and this could potentially help them launch an attack from under the veil. It has to be noted that until now, 12 suspected terrorists have been arrested in Brazil, who were accused to be part of the Brazil IS group and preparing attacks.
A successful attack on such a massive stage could create unimaginable havoc.
