ISIS sends chilling threat to World Cup as sick fanatics directed to ‘set fire to stadiums and cause a stampede’

ISIS has issued a chilling threat to World Cup fans, urging its loyal supporters to “set fire to stadiums and cause a stampede”.

Supporters of the terror group have been encouraged to carry out harrowing acts as millions travel to attend matches across the US.

The horrific message said: “As for the field jihad, on the offensive, not the defensive, front, this season is a golden opportunity for the lone mujahid to revive and renew individual attacks, especially in the heart of Crusader America, which hosted the games in eleven cities.

“You, O mujahid, have a full month to monitor gatherings and launch attacks, for the unbridled hordes of infidels throng the streets and stands teem with them.

“Wherever you strike, you will inflict pain, and wherever you plant, you will cause harm.”

Followers of the twisted terror group were then urged to imagine the chaos an attack could cause inside a packed stadium.

The despicable message continued: “You knife has drawn blood, and wherever you have hit with your car, you have caused a stampede.

“Imagine that you have succeeded in starting a fire in the stands to cause a massive stampede that will kill hundreds of people from the nation of the Trinity and atheism?

“It is an idea worth implementing.”

The propaganda message ends by urging its mindless followers not to miss a golden opportunity to condemn Western non-believers.

This comes after ISIS fanatics issued a similar terror threat, imploring extremists to attack World Cup stadiums and target the Pope.

This year’s tournament – spanning two continents – is set to be the most fortified World Cup in history.

England‘s training camp is reportedly protected by three rings of security, with officials taking no chances amid fears of potential threats.

A strict no-fly zone will be enforced to guard against drone attacks, while a dedicated command centre has been established to monitor security around the clock.

Armed police officers, security personnel and private guards constantly patrol the perimeter of the team’s base in Prairie Village, Kansas.

Additional screening has also been installed to prevent residents of a neighbouring apartment complex from spying on Thomas Tuchel‘s squad.

Police will then escort England’s team coach back and forth between the hotel and training ground at nearby Swope Soccer Village.

A Three Lions insider said: “The safety and security of players, staff and their families is the number one priority but precautions in the US have been stepped up further.

“Players will be ­surrounded by a moving cordon wherever they go. The team’s hotel will become a virtual fortress.”

One of the more unusual security measures being deployed by tournament organisers is the use of robot dogs to help protect staff.

The machines will be based at FIFA’s International Broadcaster Center (IBC) in Dallas, where they will assist with patrolling operations.

Footage shows the robot canines moving on all fours through the facility, with some even performing dances during demonstrations.

The robots have been manufactured by tournament sponsor Hyundai Motor Company.
