A joint operation between the FBI and Spain's Civil Guard thwarted an ISIS-linked terror attack targeting Real Madrid players and fans. Using Europol intelligence, authorities dismantled the I'lam Foundation propaganda network, arresting nine individuals in Girona, Cadiz, Almeria, and Tenerife. Journalist Jose Maria Olmo revealed the network's chilling plan to attack the Real Madrid team bus and supporters. Posters depicted a hooded figure aiming a rifle at Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, urging attacks with messages like "Kill them all" and detailed instructions for creating chaos with explosives. French and London police heightened security measures for other high-profile matches in response to these threats.
