ISIS planning attack on WWE event in Atlanta, Anonymous says

Online activist group Anonymous uncovers ISIS threat against Atlanta WWE event

The FBI are taking the threat from Anonymous seriously and are looking into the possible attack at Phillips Stadium in Atlanta

Anonymous said on Saturday that it had uncovered information about planned ISIS attacks worldwide

The WWE provided a statement saying the event will go on as planned

The FBI is investigating a mysterious threat claiming Islamic State terrorists will attack a Sunday World Wrestling Entertainment event in Atlanta.

While agents are taking the alleged threat — forewarned by hacktivist group Anonymous — seriously, they do not “have specific or credible information” that the Philips Arena wrestling match is a target, the FBI said in a statement.

“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,” the statement read.

Anonymous claimed it uncovered the veiled threat days after declaring cyber war on the terror network.

Fighters are planning an assault on WWE’s Survivor Series, Anonymous said in a statement. The wrestling event is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. at Atlanta’s Philips Arena.

The wrestling match will go on, WWE officials said.

“WWE Survivor Series is currently scheduled as planned while we investigate the matter with federal, state and local authorities,” WWE said in a statement.

The Survivor Series, first held in 1987, is one of WWE’s four original pay-per-view wrestling competitions. This year’s event features seven face-offs including the Diva’s Championship match and a tag team match that puts four wrestlers in the same ring.

A group of online activists reported this week that ISIS is planning an attack on Sunday at WWE event in Georgia on Sunday.

The FBI confirmed that they are taking the threat reported by Anonymous seriously and are looking into the possible attack at Phillips Stadium in Atlanta where the WWE Survival Series is being held at 7:30 P.m. EST.

‘The FBI is aware of reports of an alleged threat that includes an Atlanta, Georgia venue and event. While we take all threats seriously, we do not have specific or credible information of an attack at this time,’ said the government agency to Channel 2 news.

Message from Anonymous: The goal is to make sure the whole world, or at least the people going to these events, know that there have been threats and that there is possibility of an attack to happen. Another goal is to make sure Daesh knows that the world knows and cancels the attacks

‘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.’

Fox spoke with Jim Butterworth, Director of the Georgia Emergency Management Agency, who said that the threat is not ‘credible’ and that the venue was on a list ISIS made of potential targets.

The Atlanta attack is just one of a slew of ISIS-led rampages allegedly set for Sunday. The terrorists also plotted out attacks at concerts, colleges and churches in Europe and Asia, Anonymous said.

Possible terror targets include a Five Finger Death Punch heavy metal concert in Milan, Feast of Christ the King celebrations in Rome, University Pastoral Day at Lebanon’s Holy Spirit University, an event at Al-Jihad mosque in Indonesia and two music shows in Paris.

Anonymous provided no further details about the attacks.

The hackers said they submitted proof of the plans to the appropriate authorities days ago.
