http://news.sky.com/skynews/article/...316139,00.htmlAl Qaeda is planning to attack the Euro 2008 football championships in Switzerland and Austria in June, Swiss police say.
Swiss cops training for Euro 2008
"The Euro 2008 tournament is a target cited by the Islamist terrorist network," federal police spokesman Juerg Buehler told Swiss newspaper La Liberte.
He said messages had been posted on Islamist websites and police were "following the situation very closely".
One of the messages urges terrorists to "transform the safest countries in Europe to the hell seen in Iraq or Afghanistan".
"The time has come for the fighters of the faith. They must make their voices heard," said another.
Authorities fear the global media coverage of the tournament will make it an attractive target for an attack.
Security will be tight in and around the grounds, and extra checks will be made on people buying tickets from "high-risk" areas in the Middle East, the newspaper reported.
The federal government's security budget for the tournament is said to top £18m.
I am not muslim, but the things the media make up about Muslims are awful.
Its like accusing them since 9/11 for 1 attack, its like saying a teacher accusing you all the time because you did something bad once...

Tbh while these idiots are going to be trying to save the football pitch the terrorists will most likely target somewhere more worth it instead?

Well, yeh 9/11, 7/7 was extremists.
But now police ask any person they think are muslim. Say in school you beat someone up.
And then beat another person up again another day.
Then 2 weeks or so later someone was beaten up, and your around but it wasn't you, there going to accuse you...
Ok, im going to make a website, few and post I am going to bomb 2012 olympics, im no religion. There would be no news for that.
Swiss really have no authority too start accusing... They are being scared by threats on websites, shows weakness. See we're the money goes too waste? 18m on 1 or 2 games of security...Last edited by efq; 15-05-2008 at 06:55 PM.

They're not guessing that there is going to be an attack it's posted on an extremist website... it's called "intelligence". You don't just say "oh they're bound to bomb us because they're muslim."
That isn't the issue here... the issue is that terrorists are going to attack Euro 2008. Mainly due to the media attention but when you think about it they will do the same with the olympics. I can imagine security will be tight in london when 2012 comes along.

Good thing we didn't qualify then.
