| Zusammenfassung: | The terrorist threat to the World Cup in Russia emanates from three different sources. Firstly, there are a few thousand Russian fighters in the ranks of IS and Al-Qaeda in the Middle East, who have periodically demonstrated their intention and capability to target Russia. Secondly, existing clandestine networks of local militant groups led by the Caucasus Emirate (CE) and Wilayah Qawqaz (Caucasus Province) in the North Caucasus could also target the international sporting event. Lastly, some radicalised elements within small segments of the Central Asian diaspora in Russia could also perpetrate an attack during the event. |
