This special alert was posted by the Northeast Intelligence Network:
10 March 2006: The FBI has warned stadium operators to be alert for possible suicide bomb attack at sporting events. A posting on a terrorist-sponsored web site solicited homicide and suicide attacks against people at stadiums and sporting events in the U.S. using groups of 3-5 "blond or black American Muslim suicide bombers."
The posting advised potential bombers to hide homemade explosives under their winter clothing to avoid detection by stadium security personnel. Also, the posting suggests that one terrorist operative should detonate an explosive inside the stadium, while a second operative should detonate a secondary explosive device near an exit as people hurriedly leave the stadium to achieve "maximum effect."
