How Afghan branch of ISIS has turned its attentions on the West

The same branch of Islamic State that US intelligence believes carried out last month's deadly terror attack in Moscow is likely behind today's threat made by ISIS against major cities hosting this week's Champions League quarter finals. The Al Azaim Foundation, a media channel responsible for disseminating messages from the ISIS-K affiliate of the notorious terror group , shared a post threatening an attack on all four stadiums playing host to the fixtures in major European capitals. This includes the Emirates Stadium in London - which will host Arsenal v Bayern Munich, and the Santiago Bernabeu in Madrid - where Manchester City will take on Real Madrid, both tonight.
