Cross Country Race Threatened by Terrorists




To think we were worried about the Super Bowl, but all along terrorists have been targetting cross country events. Whats next the Figure Skating events? All 4 people attending this event must be super worried.



The embassy released a statement saying the threat was coming from
"alleged
extremist elements" and that the races "may be the target of an
unspecified
terrorist attack." Last month, the U.S. Embassy issued another
strong
warning to Americans considering a visit to Kenya, saying violent crime
was
increasing and that Kenyan authorities have limited capacity to prevent it.
"The U.S. Embassy is also aware of public statements by leaders of Kenya's
Coastal Muslim community threatening to disrupt, through unspecified means,
the
World Cross Country Championship if the government of Kenya does not
satisfy
various demands," the latest statement said.
