Alleged Daesh threat against Miss Universe pageant in Manila
2016-08-15
[SGGP] The Philippine military is taking seriously a call by the Daesh for an attack on the Miss Universe pageant that will be held in Manila next year. The military said that a recent bomb-making video posted on social media, apparently made by Daesh, carried a message in Arabic script reading: "creating a bomb for Miss Universe."

Officials have yet to establish the video's authenticity or determine its source, but they are taking the threat seriously, military spokesman Colonel Edgard Arevalo said.

The Philippine ministry of tourism said it is not alarmed by the threat, adding that the video's authenticity was impossible to verify.
