Police will tighten security at Bundesliga match due to threat of terrorist attack

Today marks the central match of the 27th round of the German Bundesliga, where Bayern Munich will host Borussia Dortmund.

However, this significant football event has been overshadowed by unpleasant news. According to several media sources associated with ISIL, a representative of the terrorist group, Sarh al-Khilafa, published an image this morning, possibly indicating the next target of the terrorists. The photo depicts Bayern Munich's home arena, the Allianz Arena, with a crosshair aimed at people near it.

This threat was promptly assessed by local law enforcement. Authorities evaluated the situation and, in their view, there are currently no signs of acute danger.

Nevertheless, police surveillance will be intensified. Earlier, it was envisaged that 100 emergency service personnel would be involved in maintaining law and order and security, but now their number will increase due to the inclusion of additional officers.

Representatives of Bayern stated that they are in close cooperation with the authorities and the police dealing with this matter.
