A football game between Bayern Munich and Broussia Dortmund this Saturday (30 March 2024) received alleged threats from the Islamic State. An image published on the extremist group’s channel shows the Allianz Arena stadium, where the game is taking place.

The alleged threat comes 1 week after the extremist group claimed responsibility for the attack on a concert hall in the metropolitan area of Moscow, Russia. Gunmen stormed Crcous City Hall and killed 133 people.
Agents from Vladimir Putin’s government arrested 11 suspects for the attack. Of them, 4 appeared at the Basmanny District Court and 2 of them – with clear signs of beatings – confessed to the crime.
In a speech on national television 1 day after the attack (23 March), the Russian president said that the suspects were captured when they tried to flee to Ukraine. Kiev has denied any involvement.
