| Pro-ISIS group post chilling warning ahead of T20 World Cup game between India and Pakistan in New York |

| [Daily Mail, where Amreica gets it news] There are renewed fears of terrorist attacks at this year's T20 World Cup after a chilling poster was released hinting at bloodshed in New York. A pro-ISIS outlet released a graphic which showed a hooded man with a rifle over his shoulder. It read 'You wait for the matches...' and then - written in dripping blood-red - 'And we wait for you...' The poster makes reference to June 9 at 'Nassau Stadium', which is when - and where - bitter rivals India and Pakistain will meet in a group game. It also includes images of drones flying over the stadium and stick of dynamite with a ticking clock. DailyMail.com understands, however, that the poster has not prompted US authorities to raise the threat level of an attack. A spokesperson for the International Cricket Council (ICC) said in a statement: 'The safety and security of everyone at the event is our No 1 priority and we have a comprehensive and robust security plan in place. The T20 tournament is being held in the United States and the Caribbean between June 1 and June 29. There will be eight matches held at a newly-erected temporary stadium in Eisenhower Park - 30 miles east of Manhattan. They include the standout game of the group stages, when India and Pakistan collide in a sold-out clash at the 34,000 Nassau County International Cricket Stadium. The ICC and Cricket West Indies would not confirm that the threat had emanated from Islamic State, whose propaganda channel, Nashir-e Pakistan, are said to have encouraged attacks on sporting events. |

| #1 There will be a drone attack eventually in the US. Not sure that it will be at this event. |
