Islamic State calls for attacks on football venues – Al Azaim

The terrorist group has issued a call to “kill them all” ahead of the upcoming Champions League quarter-finals

The terrorist group Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) has called for attacks on major UEFA Champions League games ahead of the tournament’s upcoming quarter-finals, according to a message issued on Monday by the Al-Azaim Foundation – a media channel connected to the Afghan wing of the extremist organization dubbed ISIS-K.

The same group has claimed responsibility for the March 22 terrorist attack in Moscow, in which four gunmen went on a shooting spree at the Crocus City Hall concert venue before setting the building on fire. At least 144 people, including six children, were killed in the massacre and over 500 have been injured, it’s estimated.

In its post, the group attached an image featuring a masked jihadist holding an AK-47 rifle, with a caption reading: “kill them all.” The picture also lists four major football stadiums where the games are set to take place this week. These include Parc de Princes in Paris, Emirates Stadium in London and the Santiago Bernabeu and Metropolitano Arenas in Madrid.
