If a bunch of terrorists can reduce the World Trade Center towers to rubble, imagine what they could do at next year's World Cup finals in Japan and South Korea. Unfortunately, this is not mere scare mongering.
Potential terrorist targets: 20 stadiums. This is not to mention the numerous hotels that will accommodate players, coaches, officials, media and VIPs next summer.
Motive: an aggregate worldwide audience of around 40 billion will watch the 64 matches, analysts predict.
