Elite counter-terrorism unit 'to be in place at Parc des Princes for PSG's Champions League clash with Barcelona tonight' amid ISIS terror threat

An elite counter-terrorism unit has reportedly been brought in for tonight's Champions League clash between PSG and Barcelona at the Parc des Princes amid an ISIS terror threat.

The Al-Azaim Foundation - a media channel responsible for spreading messages from the ISIS-K branch of the terror group - shared a post that read 'kill them all' as they threatened an attack on all four stadiums playing host to this week's quarter-finals on Monday evening.

Security was subsequently 'considerably' heightened at the Emirates Stadium for Arsenal's first leg of their quarter-final tie with Bayern Munich on Tuesday, and significant precautions are also set to be put in place in Paris this evening.
