The Sochi Olympic Games and the Threat of a Terrorist Attack.
Who is Behind the Caucasus Terrorists?
In the weeks leading up to the Sochi Winter Olympics, the Western
Media has released a dribble of “trustworthy reports” examining “the
likelihood” of a terrorist attack at the height of the Olympic games.
In late January, the British government warned “that more terrorist
attacks in Russia (following the Volgograd attack in December) are “very
likely to occur before or during the Winter Olympics in Sochi”. (BBC,
January 27, 2014).
As the Olympic torch reaches Sochi, CNN released, in a timely
fashion, the results of an “authoritative” opinion poll (based on a
meager sample of 1000 individuals): “57% of Americans think terror attack likely at Sochi Games”
Earlier news reports focussed on the mysterious menace of a so-called
“Black Widow” terrorist attack emanating from Chechnya, Russia’s
hotspot of Islamic terrorism. According to a so-called “catastrophe
expert” Dr Gordon Woo, a Black Widow attack “is almost certain to
happen”:
“Because of the history between the Russians and the Chechen people who splintered to form the Caucasus Emirate, Sochi is a prime target for terrorism,” said Woo, who has advanced insurance modelling of catastrophes, including designing a model for terrorism risk. (Business Times, UK)
