ISIS threatens to attack 2018 World Cup in Russia using poster of Messi in prison uniform crying blood

Just when football fans around the world are concluding plans to be in Russia for the 2018 World Cup, Islamic State terrorists group, ISIS are busy sending chilling threats of possible attacks during the tournament. 

In a chilling post that appeared on the terror group propaganda channel, SITE Intel Group, a sick poster of Lionel Messi crying blood from behind bars is being shared by fanatics in an attempt to spread fear ahead of next year's World Cup in Russia.

The channel published the image released by pro-ISIS media unit, the Wafa Media Foundation.

The image which shows the 5-time world footballer of the year behind bars and shedding tears of blood has the words; You are fighting a state that does not have failure in its dictionary.”

The image also has the words “Just Terrorism”, a likely play on sport brand Nike‘s “Just Do It” slogan.

This is not the first time, a threat to the world cup has been issued.

Images have been showing the world cup logo with different taglines, including “I swear that the mujahideen’s fire will burn you, just you wait.”
