Thats not what the above article was about at all. It was just a smear piece on Russia not being ready

I think a terrorist event is a legitamate concern but then it wont be first terrorist attack on a games . Atlanta killed 2 injured 111, Munich killed 11 so it wont be the first olympics to face terrorist threats. Before London there was widespread reporting of terrorist strikes being immenant. The risk of a successful terrorist strike in Russia is probably only marginally higher than London was.

The media loves to incite panic.
