New York officials are on high alert following threats made by the terrorist group ISIS-K against the upcoming Cricket World Cup event, which is taking place in the United States. The tournament is set to commence this weekend on Long Island, with particular concerns raised regarding the India-Pakistan match scheduled for June 9th.
The threats originated from online postings in late April, with a recent alarming message surfacing just two days ago, prompting authorities to take swift action. ISIS-K, known for its sophisticated external operations, operates from the Pakistani-Afghan border and has carried out significant attacks in various regions, including the devastating Moscow shopping mall bombing and the strike on General Soleimani's memorial service in Iran.
