FBI Confirms Alleged ISIS Threat Against WWE Event in
Atlanta on Sunday
Body slams were the defiant answer to terrorists Sunday
night, as a major WWE wrestling event at Atlanta’s
Philips Arena got underway without incident following
the FBI’s confirmation that it was aware of an alleged
threat by the Islamic group ISIS to attack it.
On Saturday, the hacker group Anonymous said that it
had uncovered information about Islamic State group
plans for additional terror attacks in Paris as well as
locations in the U.S., according to the International
Business Times . An FBI said that while the bureau was
aware of the threat, it did not have “specific or credible
information of an attack.
“The FBI is aware of reports of an alleged threat that
includes an Atlanta, Georgia venue and event,” FBI
Special Agent in Charge J. Britt Johnson of the Atlanta
office said on Saturday. “While we take all threats
seriously, we do not have specific or credible
information of an attack at this time. We have, however,
made the proper notifications as we continue to work
closely with our law enforcement and private sector
partners to keep our community safe.”
On Sunday afternoon while he was ending a trip to Asia,
President Barack Obama said the Islamic State group
“cannot strike a mortal blow” against the U.S., and he
warned that overreacting to the Paris attacks would play
into extremists’ hands.
“We do not succumb to fear,” Obama said in Kuala
Lumpur, Malaysia. “The most powerful tool we have to
fight ISI is to say that we’re not afraid, to not elevate
them, to somehow buy into their fantasy that they’re
doing something important,” Obama said.
According to Anonymous, ISIS was planning an assault
at an WWE Survivor Series event, which was to
recognize the 25th anniversary of one of its star
wrestlers, the Undertaker.
The WWE, Atlanta Hawks and Phillips Arena released
this joint statement in response to the terror threats:
