The Nuclear Bible: Nuclear Terror Target # 3: The World Cup

Intro: Being the largest Nation in South America, Brazil is a rising star who will host the World Cup (2014) and the Summer Olympics
(2016) during the next four years. A nuclear detonation would be the end of Brazils dominance in South America, and would potentially destroy the entire South American economy for decades. Brazil, who recently signed a nuclear agreement with Iran and Turkey, is the largest and most powerful economic force in South America. It is possible that the Globalists see Brazil as a threat and may try to invade South America to hunt down Al Qaeda, should a nuclear terror event occur in 2014 and/or 2016.

Nuclear Target # 3: The World Cup Agency: FIFA (Fdration Internationale de Football Association) World Cup Dates: 2014, 2018, 2022 2010 World Cup: The 2010 FIFA World Cup was played in South Africa on July 11, 2010 (7/11). Aside from the U.S., most other countries put the day first rather than the month, thus resulting in the numerical switch to 11/7. Should a massive terror event occur at the World Cup on the same date, the 7/11 convenience store with 38,000 locations globally would serve as a constant reminder of Nuclear Terror, similarly like 9/11 was to all Americans who dialed 911 (Emergency Phone Number for Police, Fire, & Medical). Ironically, on the day of the World Cup Final, twin suicide bombs were detonated in Uganda during the game.

The Nuclear Bible: The Word Cups History of Terror

Date: June 9, 2006 Source: Spiegel News Location: Munich, Germany Alleged Terrorist(s): Islamist Extremist Offense(s): Terror Plot Incident Name: 2006 World Cup Terror Plot Date: March 28, 2008 Source: Spiegel News Title/Headline: German Official Says World Cup Terror Attack Narrowly Avoided Abstract: German security authorities were proud of having pulled off a safe and successful 2006 Soccer World Cup. Now a German security official has revealed that a major attack on the tournament may have been averted -- but the suspect got away. Ever since the 2006 World Cup came to an end, Germany has been basking in the glow of having pulled off a wildly successful tournament. But according to Bavaria's interior minister, it almost ended in explosive failure. Joachim Herrmann, of the conservative Christian Social Union, told German television news channel N-TV that police foiled a terror attack planned to be carried out in Munich on the first day of the World Cup in June 2006. He said that the public was deliberately not informed of the possible threat at the time to prevent panic. According to the station, a spokesman for the Bavarian Interior Ministry said that police began intensive observations of a lone man thought to be "associated with Islamist extremism" who was noticed acting suspiciously near Munich's Allianz Arena soccer stadium. In the course of the surveillance, according to the spokesman, the suspect left Germany, perhaps as a result of growing suspicious that he was being watched. The spokesman did not reveal the man's nationality or current place of residence. The man was thought to be a member of a group that had cased the arena prior to the games, according to the Sddeutsche Zeitung. Herrmann made the comments in the US, where he is holding a round of meetings this week with the FBI, the CIA, the US State Department, the Pentagon and the Department of Homeland Security to discuss security issues, exchange information about suspected terrorists and strengthen terror-prevention ties between the countries. Herrmann delivered a speech to the German Marshall Fund Foundation Thursday in Washington, D.C., in which he warned of the "danger of attacks from home-grown networks" and the "formation of parallel societies in large cities and urban areas." "We can't just ignore the fact," Herrmann said, "that there is drastic distance between some Muslims and our system of values (Spiegel News, 2008).

People were observed who were quite clearly monitoring the stadium with the possible intention of carrying out an attack, Herrmann told national commercial news broadcaster n-tv, acknowledging the incident for the first time. One person regarded as a potential security threat had been deported, he said. News of the possible threat had been kept fr om the public because we did not want to spread unnecessary fear, Herrmann said. Germany beat Costa Rica 4 -2 in the June 19, 2006, opening game of the tournament that passed off without incident and was seen as a major public relations success for Germany (Thaindian News, 2008). Date: May 17, 2010 Source: Fox News Location: Johannesburg, South Africa Alleged Terrorist(s): Al Qaeda Offense(s): Terror Plot Incident Name: 2010 World Cup Terror Plot Date: May 17, 2010 Source: Fox News Title/Headline: Iraq Says It Uncovered Al Qaeda Plot On World Cup Abstract: A senior Al Qaeda militant suspected of planning an attack targeting the soccer World Cup in South Africa next month has been detained, an Iraqi official says. Maj. Gen. Qassim al-Moussawi, a spokesman for Baghdad security services, says the militant was an officer in the Saudi army. Abdullah Azam Saleh al-Qahtani is suspected of planning a "terrorist act" in South Africa during the World Cup beginning June 11, al-Moussawi said at a press conference on Monday. He added that al-Qahtani entered Iraq in 2004 and is suspected in several attacks in the capital and elsewhere in the country. Al-Moussawi said the 30-year-old Saudi national, who was in charge of "security" for the terror network in Baghdad, was in contact with Al Qaeda number two Ayman al-Zawahiri to "organize the plan," AFP reported. In Johannesburg, meanwhile, South African police were reportedly investigating the alleged terror plot at the month-long tournament, the world's biggest sporting event which starts on June 11. The World Cup is expected to attract more than 370,000 foreign fans."The South African police are still working on getting confirmation," Nonkululeko Mbatha, spokeswoman for the national police chief, told AFP. Despite the killing last month of Al Qaeda in Iraq's two top figures in a U.S.-assisted military operation, attacks blamed on the group have continued (Fox News, 2010). Date: May 17, 2010 Source: Telegraph, Richard Spencer Title/Headline: Al-Qaeda Number Two Plotting World Cup Terrorist Attack Abstract: Osama bin Laden's closest al-Qaeda lieutenant has been plotting a terrorist attack on the World Cup, Iraqi police said. According to investigators, Ayman al-Zawahiri, bin Laden's number two, was conspiring with an al-Qaeda operative who was arrested in Baghdad two weeks ago. The operative, named as Abdullah Azzam Saleh Misfar al-Qahtani and said to be a former Saudi army colonel who had travelled to Iraq and become security chief for al-Qaeda's local branch, has been accused of organising suicide bombings in two cities south of Baghdad. Major General Qassim Atta, head of security in Baghdad, said he was also believed to have made contact with al-Zawahiri, the man generally regarded as al-Qaeda's second-highest leader after bin Laden. "He participated in the planning of a terrorist act in South Africa during the World Cup," Maj Gen Atta said. "He was in contact with the terrorist Ayman al-Zawahiri to organise the plan hatched by al-Qaeda." Maj Gen Atta gave no details of what the plot was or how far it had been developed. But last month a jihadist website published a statement in which al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, the North African branch, suggested an attack might be made on England's opening game, against the United States. The bulk of South Africa's police work in advance of the World Cup, starting next month, has been aimed at controlling high rates of violent crime. Precautions have been laid against terrorist attacks, but police said they were still investigating the latest claims. "The South African police are still working on getting confirmation," Nonkululeko Mbatha, a spokeswoman, said (Spencer, 2010). Date: May 28, 2010 Source: ABC News, Associated Press Title/Headline: US State Department Issues South Africa Alert Abstract: The U.S. State Department has issued a travel alert to U.S citizens living in South Africa or traveling there for the World Cup. "There is a heightened risk that extremist groups will conduct terrorist acts within South Africa in the near future," the department said in an alert Thursday. "While a number of terrorist threats against the World Cup in South Africa have appeared in the media in recent weeks and months, the U.S. government has no information on any specific, credible threat of attack that any individual or group is planning to coincide with the tournament." The State Department said it would make any information public on "a specific and credible threat." U.S. citizens were advised to keep car doors and windows locked while driving and not to leave valuables in plain view or to wear expensive jewelry. The alert said public transportation is "poorly developed" and advised using rental cars or private transport instead. And when stopping at intersections at night or in isolated areas, it suggested leaving room for a

"quick exit." The State Department says its alerts are "about short-term conditions" in a country "that pose imminent risks to the security of U.S. citizens." Its warnings are "to describe long-term, protracted conditions that make a country dangerous or unstable (ABC News, 2010). Date: May 31, 2010 Source: Xinhau News Title/Headline: South Africa Refutes World Cup Terror Report Abstract: South Africa's National Joint Operational and Intelligence Structure (Natjoints) on Sunday refuted media reports about a terror threat to next month's the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa . The move came after the Sunday Times in Johannesburg, the biggest Sunday newspaper in South Africa, carried an extensive story on the subject as their main item. It quoted experts as saying South Africa is vulnerable to some form of terrorist attack during the June 11 to July 11 tournament. However, South Africa's Natjoints said in a statement to the South African Press Association (SAPA) "The security forces can firmly state that there is no known specific terror threat against the 2010 FIFA World Cup." It "strongly disputed" the Sunday Times's claim that South Africa had drawn up a watch-list of 40 terror suspects. The newspaper said it had received two separate accounts of "at least one arrest linked to World Cup threats." The Sunday Times also said that "operational militant training camps" were set up in several provinces. In response Natjoints said that the newspaper report was riddled with inaccuracies and most comments were from anonymous sources. "Although the Natjoints is not prepared to discuss intelligence matters for obvious reasons, we can categorically deny the existence of a 'watch-list of 40 terror suspects' or the arrest of any person directly targeting the World Cup. Natjoints also disputed the existence of operational militant training camps in several provinces in South Africa. Earlier the Sunday Times had quoted among others, Frank van Rooyen, senior researcher at the South African Institute of International Affairs. "We are definitely vulnerable to suicide bombers and car bombs. All the signs are there that al-Qaeda is planning one of these attacks on the World Cup," said Van Rooyen, who is also a former South African naval officer (Xinhau News, 2010).

Nathi Mthethwa sought to refute recent media reports alleging that South Africa is vulnerable to some form of terrorist attack during the June 11 to July 11 tournament. He said South African police have been working closely with intelligence agencies in each of the 31 countries sending teams to South Africa. "It would be folly for any country to grandstand and proclaim that it is immune to terror attacks," Mthethwa told reporters in Johannesburg on Monday. But "there is no threat to South Africa as we speak now." Mthethwa played down last week's warning by the U.S. government to its citizens that South Africa faces a heightened risk of terrorism during the World Cup. Mthethwa his forces would be ready to deal with any threat that might emerge . "Each country has the right to say whatever they want to say to their citizens," he said.

Imran Muhammad, 33, was arrested at the Beitbridge border post along with another Pakistani national, the state-run Herald newspaper reported, saying Muhammad was wanted for the Mumbai attacks. "Indications were that... Muhammad (is) wanted in Pakistan (as he) was allegedly involved in the terror attacks that rocked Mumbai, India in November 2008," the daily said. Police spokesman Wayne Bvudzijena said the two were arrested on June 20 after they were found using fake Kenyan passports. "Investigations are still being carried out through Interpol to see who these people are," he told AFP. "We will have to get information from the Pakistani authorities to see what they have on these two." According to unnamed sources quoted by the Herald, Muhammad was normally based in the Chilean capital Santiago. The daily said Muhammad and 39-year-old Chaudry Parvez Ahmed flew from Saudi Arabia to Tanzania, before connecting to Zimbabwe by road. Bvudzijena would not comment on why the two were travelling to

South Africa. "This is part of our investigations. We will only be able to know why they wanted to travel to South Africa once our investigations are completed," he said (The Sydney Morning Herald, 2010).

The two Pakistani men, who were arrested at a border post in Zimbabwe while trying to cross into South Africa illegally were produced in court yesterday and charged with breaching immigration laws. The arrest had raised an alarm over the possibility of terror groups trying to target the FIFA World Cup in South Africa. The state media had initially linked one of the two arrested men to the Mumbai terror attack, but police is yet to verify any such links. Imran Muhammad (33) and Warraich Chaudhry Pervez Ahmed (39) were arrested while trying to cross into South Africa at Beitbridge Border Post last month. The two appeared in court and were charged with contravening sections of the Immigration Act, Zimbabwe Herald reported. The two men were found to be in possession of fake travel documents by immigration officials at the border check post while trying to enter the country on June 20. The paper said they were found in possession of forged Tanzanian Emergency Travel Documents whose names did not tally with those on their Pakistani passports. They have been remanded in custody to July 22 because a Pakistani interpreter is needed for the proceedings as the two men are not conversant in English. The prosecutor told the court that the two men were being charged under the Immigration Act, "after they failed to present themselves to an immigration officer and possession of travel documents to which they were not entitled" (ZEE News, 2010). Date: July 9, 2010 Source: Haaretz Title/Headline: Jihad VS. The World Cup? Not If Bin Laden Has His Say Abstract: Last month an extremist Islamic organization in Somalia arrested two men watching a World Cup game between Argentina and Nigeria. The two were put to death. The organization, that draws its ideas from al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden, arrested ten others who were watching games and later released them with a warning: "World Cup games are a waste of time and money, they are immoral and un-Islamic. We warn Somali youth not to watch the games." However, if bin Laden, from his hiding place somewhere in Afghanistan or Pakistan was to hear of the murderous attack, he would undoubtedly be dismayed. The reason? The leader of Al Qaida - whose conservative Islamic worldview outlaws music, women's education, gambling, alcohol, homosexuality and beard shaving - is a huge fan of soccer, and his favorite position is striker. But bin Laden is not the only Muslim extremist that submits to the game of soccer - there are those that claim that he favorite club is London's Arsenal - he is only one of many Jihadists that love the world's most popular sport. "It's on the whole their favorite thing after jihad," American-French anthropologist Scott Atran, who investigated the connection between terror organizations and soccer, told Newsweek (Haaretz, 2010).

Date: July 11, 2010 Source: Sign On San Diego, Max Delany, Jason Straziuso Location: Kampala, Uganda Alleged Terrorist(s): Al Qaeda Linked Somalia Group Offense(s): Bombing Incident Name: 2010 World Cup Bombings Date: July 12, 2010 Source: Sign On San Diego, Max Delany, Jason Straziuso Title/Headline: Ugandan Toll In World Cup Bombings Rises To 74 Abstract: An al-Qaida-linked Somali militant group suspected in twin bombings in Uganda's capital that hit crowds watching the World Cup final endorsed the attacks Monday but stopped short of claiming responsibility, while the death toll rose to 74. The blasts came two days after a commander with the Somali group, al-Shabab, called for militants to attack sites in Uganda and Burundi, two nations that contribute troops to the African Union peacekeeping force in Somalia. The attacks on two soft targets filled with civilians also raise concerns about the capabilities and motives of al-Shabab, which the U.S. State Department has declared a terrorist organization. If confirmed that the group carried out the attacks, it would be the first time al-Shabab has struck outside Somalia. Sheik Yusuf Sheik Issa, an al-Shabab commander, told The Associated Press that he was happy with the attacks in Uganda but refused to confirm or deny that alShabab was responsible. "Uganda is one of our enemies. Whatever makes them cry, makes us happy. May Allah's anger be upon those who are against us," Sheik said. Kampala's police chief, Kale Kaihura, said he believed al-Shabab could be responsible. One of the targets was an Ethiopian restaurant - a nation despised by the al-Shabab militants. The attacks appeared to represent a dangerous step forward by al-Shabab, analysts said, and could mean that other East African countries working to support the Somali government will face attacks. "Al-Shabab has used suicide bombers in the past and shown no concern about civilian casualties in its attacks," said David Shinn, a former U.S. ambassador to Ethiopia and a professor at George Washington University. "Some elements of al-Shabab have also prohibited the showing of television, including the World Cup, in Somalia." At a wrap-up news briefing Monday in South Africa, FIFA President Sepp Blatter denounced the violence against fans watching the game. "Can you link it to the World Cup? I don't know... Whatever happened, linked or not linked, it is something that we all should condemn," he said. Al-Shabab, which wants to overthrow Somalia's weak, U.N.-backed government, is known to have links with al-Qaida . Al-Shabab also counts militant veterans from the Iraq , Afghanistan and Pakistan conflicts among its ranks. Their fighters also include young men recruited from the Somali communities in the United States. Ethiopia, which fought two wars with Somalia, is a longtime enemy of al-Shabab and other Somali militants who accuse their neighbor of meddling in Somali affairs. Ethiopia had troops in Somalia between December 2006 and January 2009 to back Somalia's fragile government against the Islamic insurgency. In addition to Uganda's troops in Mogadishu, Uganda also hosts Somali soldiers trained in U.S. and European-backed programs. Officials said the Sunday attacks will not affect the African Union summit being held in Uganda from July 19-27. Many African leaders are expected to attend (Delany & Straziuso, 2010).

Date: July 11, 2010 Source: CNN, Ben Wyatt Title/Headline: Could 2010 World Cup Final Be The Most Watched Event In History? Abstract: The World Cup final has always been one of the most watched events on the planet with viewers from New York to Nepal tuning in to see soccer's elite in action. But now football's world governing body FIFA hopes Sunday's final between the Netherlands and Spain will prove to be the most watched event of all-time, after early research suggests the 2010 edition hosted by South Africa has garnered the biggest television audience yet. "We don't want to speculate in numbers but we're hoping this will be the biggest [event] ever," Niclas Ericson, FIFA's director of television, said in a press conference from Soccer City Stadium, the final's venue. "We think it will be bigger than the 2006 World Cup final which had an audience somewhere in the region of around 700 million," he added. The record to beat is that set by the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games, when in 2008 a global audience of one billion watched at least some part of the extravaganza unfolding in the Chinese capital. Kevin Alavy, a director of Futures Sport + Entertainment, a global sport research and evaluation consultancy, told CNN that sport had an attraction few other events could match. "The most watched events in history, by some margin, are the opening ceremony of the Olympics Games and the World Cup final. Historical events, like the inauguration of Barack Obama or the funeral of Princess Diana for example may be important from a cultural and historical perspective, but they simply don't have the same scale of television audiences that mass sport events can generate," he said. Alavy added that for any record attempt the Chinese market was now crucial. "Historically the World Cup final always drew more figures than anything else, however, when the Olympics took place in... the most populous nation in the world the viewing figures went through the roof. "Our research found that there was a global audience of 593 million people who watched the opening ceremony live, while 320 million watched the World Cup final in Germany in 2006," Alavy said. However, Ericson said the international reach of the World Cup had grown significantly since 2006. "I think this is the first time we have managed to place the rights in every single television territory -- right from the small Pacific islands, to small countries in Asia and Africa -- we have covered everywhere. "The kick off time has maximized the viewership in America and in Africa. In market share we have seen big increases in major territories, therefore we feel confident in saying that we'll have much higher figures than those for Germany. On

top of the audience growth in television markets Ericson added there were hundreds of thousands who had watched at public viewing venues or on other platforms that had not been counted, factors that needed to be taken into account (Wyatt, 2010).

Date: January 7, 2011 Source: CNN Title/Headline: Blatter Expects Winter Switch For 2022 World Cup In Qatar Abstract: IFA president Sepp Blatter expects the 2022 World Cup in Qatar to be held in the winter to avoid the searing heat in the region in the summer. Qatar won the right to host football's global showpiece last month despite temperatures in the Gulf emirate reaching 40 degrees Celsius in June and July when the tournament is traditionally staged. Blatter went on record Friday to say that a switch to winter would make more sense, citing health concerns for players. "I expect it to be in the winter because when you play football you must protect the main people, the players," he told gathered reporters in the Qatari capital Doha ahead of the Asian Cup, which starts later Friday. We will take it up at our executive committee meeting in March," he added. German legend Franz Beckenbauer, a FIFA executive committee member, first raised the prospect of a winter World Cup in January and Michel Platini, the president of UEFA, the European governing body, is also believed to support the idea. But it would have serious implications for the major domestic leagues in Europe which would be in full swing during this period. Qatar's bid promised to provide air-conditioned stadiums and training grounds to combat the intense heat, but doubts have been raised this would fully address the issue, particularly for supporters. Blatter said Qatar organizers would have to approach FIFA about any change of dates. " If they have any wishes on whether they want to change the basic conditions prevailing at the bidding process, then they have to make this demand of the FIFA Executive Committee," he said. "The Executive Committee is free to change anything," he added. " If there really is a will to change dates then we have enough time to do it because we still have 11 years to go." Blatter has defended the decisions to award the 2018 and 2022 World Cups to Russia and Qatar, saying football had to break into new territories (CNN, 2011).

Conclusion: The summer to winter World Cup switch guarantees far more viewers, for more people will be inside and less people are
on summer vacation. This switch makes it far more likely that this event will be exploited for nuclear terrorism. Obviously, this move has political ramifications, for if the heat was a concern, a massive stadium dome could be built with state of the art air conditioning. Although the Super Bowl is the most watched TV event in America, the World Cup is the most watched event in the World making it a prime target. The collective outrage from a nuclear detonation at the World Cup would be so great that countries would simultaneously cower to the demands of the likely new World Government, thus making it a very likely target in the future.
