Photo causes a stir

Terror threat before Bayern game against Dortmund

Terror threat before FC Bayern's top match against Borussia Dortmund! The police in Munich have already reacted, but so far do not consider the kick-off to be "endangered".

On Friday, the IS propaganda channel Sarh al-Khilafah published a photo showing soccer fans in front of the Allianz Arena with a red target in their sights. Next to it is Arabic lettering that probably means "after the game".

Game not endangered, more officers on duty
The Munich police explained the threat on X (formerly Twitter): "We are aware of the facts of the case and we and the LKA Bayern are investigating it intensively. As things stand at the moment, we have no concrete evidence of a threat. We will supervise the match with an increased number of staff."

FC Bayern is in close contact with the police, who are in charge of the matter. Since the IS attack on a concert hall in Moscow, in which at least 143 people lost their lives, several countries have raised their terror alert levels.
