European football fans may be seeing increased security at this week’s Champions League games.
A pro-IS media channel has published several images calling for attacks at the stadiums hosting the quarterfinals.
UEFA said it was aware of the threats, but the London, Madrid, and Paris games would go ahead as planned, and Ministers in Spain and France have confirmed enhanced security measures.
UK and Europe Correspondent Gavin Grey told Mike Hosking that while the outlet who posted the images isn’t officially linked to the Islamic State group, it is thought that they liaise with them.
He said that security has been upped across the board, and the London Metropolitan Police Commissioner is confident they have a robust policing plan in place.
