Paris Olympics: The main security threat is jihadi terrorism. And what about Russia?
Manage episode 430575541 series 3322281
The 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris is the biggest sports event of the year. It will attract fans from around the world but, unfortunately, it also attracts terrorists of all kinds. So what are the main threats France is facing? I talked to Lucas Webber who is a Co-Founder of MilitantWire.com and a Research Fellow at the Soufan Center and he is mostly worried about jihadi terrorism and particularly about the Islamic State. But I also asked him if he thinks that Russia could threaten the Olympics and if he would visit Paris despite the security concerns. Listen to our conversation.
