The T20 World Cup has started. However, fans are eagerly waiting for June 9. On this day, a match will be played between India and Pakistan. This match will be played at Nassau County Cricket Stadium in New York. However, the shadow of terror is looming over this match. In fact, according to media reports, the terrorist organization ISIS-K has plotted an attack during the India-Pakistan match. They had challenged the security agencies by releasing a video. However, security has been tightened in New York and Nassau County even before this match. According to media reports, the SWAT team will be present during any match in Nassau County. They will have snipers. In such a situation, not only terrorists but even a bird will not be able to fly in the stadium.

 

SWAT teams with snipers

The biggest match of the group round in the T20 World Cup will be played between India and Pakistan. This match will also be played at Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York. Given this, the Nassau County Police Department does not want to take any risk. In such a situation, before the India-Pakistan match, the security agencies used the South Africa-Sri Lanka match as a mock drill on Monday, June 3. BBC has given information about the security arrangements in its report.

 

They have said, 'Police snipers have been deployed at secret places around the New York stadium. According to the report, SWAT teams will also be present along with the snipers. Armed policemen will also work in plain clothes inside the field. Nassau police are working closely with the New York Police Department, Federal Bureau of Investigation, US Department of Homeland Security, and other agencies for the security of the tournament.

 

Preparations to deal with drone attacks too

 

Not only this but given the possible threat of drone attacks, the park around the ground will be closed to the general public. Fans coming to watch the match will be strictly searched and they will have to pass through airport-style security scanners before getting entry.

 

ISIS had threatened

 

A terrorist organization of ISIS had threatened the India-Pakistan match. ISIS-K had issued a video threatening a 'lone wolf' attack. Eight matches of the tournament will be played at the Nassau County Stadium, including three matches of India.

 

These are the two big challenges before the police

 

1. Global threat by ISIS-K

 

A CNN report said that New York officials are taking security precautions after a global threat by the terrorist group ISIS-K against the World Cup earlier this year. A month ago in April, the terrorist organization ISIS threatened to attack during the World Cup. Nassau County Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder said on Wednesday that a threat related to ISIS-K was also received in April regarding this tournament. However, this time the threat is from a 'lone wolf'. 'Lone wolves' are members associated with terrorist organizations who work independently after obtaining permission from the organizations, which makes them more difficult to track.

 

2. Threat from gun tendency in America

 

Common people in America also have guns. Due to this, incidents of firing in public places are common in this country. The police fear that such an incident may happen during the World Cup matches especially during the India-Pakistan match.
