The terrorist attack on Dortmund team bus

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-39580594



With a blast radius of over 100M and shrapnel found around the bus with one piece lodged in a headrest it's absolutely frightening that no one was seriously hurt.

I've often wondered why more football stadiums haven't been targeted by terrorists over the years but perhaps this is the start of it. Using Celtic park as an example, I could easily walk in to Celtic park armed to the teeth such is the toothless searches in place.

It'll be a surreal atmosphere at the Dortmund game tonight I imagine but you wonder if it'll be as full as it would have been last night

Even Islamic countries love their football, an attack on football is really an attack on the whole of the world.

Cricket however....

There was an attempted terrorist attack on Old Trafford a few years ago. Our intelligence services stop these sort of things daily.

Apparently they are foiling terrorist attacks on a regular basis. Amazing how few of them result in a conviction.

Nice to see Dortmund fans letting Monaco fans stay at their homes...........especially the good looking supporters😀

Good luck tonight all, and stay safe.

Thank goodness for the people within the Muslim community who work with our intelligence agencies and local police forces to foil such attacks.

With a conviction means a public sentence and a public need to know where they are. Then a human rights activist demanding they be treated humanely with Sky TV, a gym, access to university courses etc

or you could just have it happen off the grid quiettly

That you know of.

I wonder what really happens that the media aren't aware of.

Speaking of what we don't know ala our security services..

There's a piece on today's BBC News site that talks about Stakeknife, a MI5 agent in Belfast who was also the head of the ¡RA's hit squad. He's apparently responsible for at least 18 deaths, people he tortured for info on behalf of the ¡RA all the while feeding the MI5 info on them.

Never saw a day in jail and was never touched by the ¡RA either after his spying was discovered due to it undermining the peace process.

An interesting wee read.
