(WNBC) Authorities plan to ramp up police presence at cricket watch parties and the FBI’s Nassau County office will work on security with NYPD and other local law enforcement partners leading up to next month’s ICC World Cup 2024 after a pro-ISIS outlet posted a graphic featuring host venue Eisenhower Stadium and an ominous message, a senior law enforcement official familiar with the investigation said Tuesday.
The image purportedly included the new 34,000-seat venue, which is about 25 miles east of New York City, and drones flying, with text indicating, “You wait for matches and we wait for you.” It mentioned June 9.
