(National-UAE) ISIS extremists have published “detailed” manuals for adapting drones to attack the Paris Olympics, a counter-terrorism expert has told the National.
Matt Mooney believes there is a “moderately high” probability that there will be a drone attack using a home-made bomb during this summer’s games.
The former US Department of Homeland Security official said the threat to Paris from drones is part of a “drumbeat of violence” being directed against sporting events, including the European football championship and cricket’s T20 World Cup.
This effort is “almost certain” to result in ISIS supporters trying or plotting to conduct “low-sophistication, lone-actor attacks” on the Olympics, said Mr Mooney, now with the Recorded Future threat intelligence company.
