Security services fear terrorists will try to attack fans with explosive-laden aircraft
Authorities warn international tournament could be hit from land, sea and air
Security experts have warned that ISIS could drop flying drones filled with lethal chemicals or explosives onto football fans at Euro 2016.
The small unnamed aircrafts could unleash terror on stadiums at the tournament in France according to German super-cops the Federal Criminal Office (BKA).
The agency warns that the showpiece opening and closing games on June 10 and July 10 are at particular risk from the deadly aerial assault.
BKA said the international tournament was at particular risk from terror attacks.
A spokesperson said: “Symbolic and easy targets that receive a lot of attention from the media and automatically attract a large number of victims like the Euro 2016 matches are high-risk.”
Security services in France have carried out training exercises featuring mock drone attacks at the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard in Saint-Etienne – where England will play Slovakia on June 20.
