Our oldest son (huge wrestling fan) bought tickets for himself, grandson and my husband for the WWE event tomorrow. They are trying to decide whether to go or not.

Or, the gov creates a new domestic security force. Think about the implications of that. The sheeple would demand it to keep them safe.

By the way, the Muslim Ottoman Empire besieged Vienna, Austria in 1683! We have been at war with Militant Islam for nearly 1,300 years at this point.

FBI: Officials taking report about ISIS threat seriously at Philips Arena
ATLANTA —
FBI officials have confirmed to Channel 2 Action News that they are taking seriously a report about an ISIS threat at a WWE Survivor Series event in Atlanta on Sunday.
The FBI released the following statement to Channel 2 Action News:
"The FBI is aware of reports of an alleged threat that includes an Atlanta, Georgia venue and event. While we take all threats seriously, we do not have specific or credible information of an attack at this time. We have, however, made the proper notifications as we continue to work closely with our law enforcement and private sector partners to keep our community safe."
The hacker group Anonymous said Saturday that it had uncovered information about Islamic State group attacks in Paris as well as locations in the U.S.
According to an article in the International Business Times:
"Anonymous also said the Islamic State group is planning an assault at the WWE Survivor Series event scheduled to take place in the Philips Arena in Atlanta Sunday at 7.30 p.m. EST, as well as attacks at multiple events in Paris. "
Channel 2's Mark Winne spoke with the director of the Georgia Emergency Management Agency, Jim Butterworth, who said his agency is working closely with the FBI, the Georgia Information Sharing and Analysis Center and others in evaluating the threat on a Sunday WWE event in Atlanta reported by the group Anonymous.
WWE released the following statement to Channel 2 Action News Saturday:
“WWE Survivor Series is currently scheduled as planned while we investigate the matter with federal, state and local authorities.”

Fact Check Crime Warnings
False Brag Attack
Someone claiming to be part of Anonymous warned of an imminent ISIS attack at a WWE event (and other locations), but @YourAnonNews disavowed the statement.
PROBABLY FALSE
WHAT'S TRUE: The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) acknowledged internet rumors about a planned ISIS attack on a WWE Wrestling event at Philips Arena in Atlanta.
WHAT'S FALSE/UNDETERMINED: The threat is credible or based on legitimate ISIS chatter, the information came from genuine Anonymous operatives.
EXAMPLES: [Collected via e-mail, November 2015]

FBI investigating ISIS threat on WWE Survivor Series
"The FBI is aware of reports of an alleged threat that includes an Atlanta, Georgia venue and event. While we take all threats seriously, we do not have specific or credible information of an attack at this time. We have, however, made the proper notifications as we continue to work closely with our law enforcement and private sector partners to keep our community safe."
According to an article in the International Business Times, the hacker
group Anonymous had uncovered information about planned Islamic State attacks:
"Anonymous also said the Islamic State group is planning an assault at the WWE Survivor Series event scheduled to take place in the Philips Arena in Atlanta Sunday at 7.30 p.m. EST, as well as attacks at multiple events in Paris."
ORIGINS: A series of coordinated terror attacks in Paris on 13 November 2015 led to an immediate uptick in rumors about ISIS; on 21 November 2015 several outlets reported that the hacking collective Anonymous uncovered Islamic State operative plans to attack a WWE event on 22 November 2015.
On 21 November 2015 The Hill published an article titled "Anonymous says ISIS planning attacks in US, Paris, elsewhere Sunday: report," which held:
Someone claiming to be the hacker collective Anonymous says the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) is planning to launch attacks in the U.S., Paris, Indonesia, Italy and Lebanon on Sunday, according to a report.
OpParisIntel, the name of Anonymous’ mission against ISIS, released a statement Saturday saying it had uncovered information regarding new terror plots “on Paris and the world” scheduled for Nov. 22, according to the International Business Times.
“All proof was submitted to official authorities all around the globe days ago,” the statement said. “They have it and it is their responsibility to do something with it. But because they have not done anything with it yet and it’s almost the 22nd, we have matters into our own hands."
The article alluded to the amorphous and difficult-to-confirm nature of information released by individuals claiming to be part of Anonymous. While the informal group spanned several countries and previously carried off impressive feats of data collection and dispersion, it outwardly maintained no formal or organized leadership structure. As such anyone was free to release information claiming to be affiliated with Anonymous, even falsified or fabricated claims.
Moreover, it's worth noting that the excerpted portion above included an unusual claim. It's possible that the information was disregarded by law enforcement, but it would be very difficult to say with certainty prior to the event that authorities "all around the globe" collectively opted not to act on credible intel. It stands to reason any additional security measures taken wouldn't be reported back to Anonymous' operatives, nor would those internet users be able to verify agencies "have not done anything" to secure the locations mentioned in the warning.
The Hill was one of many news outlets to cite a page on Pastebin (a website which hosts leaked and dumped data anonymously) published on 20 November 2015. The document has since been significantly altered to reflect that the information has since spread, but International Business Times provided a quote from its original content:
"The goal is to make sure the whole world, or at least the people going to these events, know that there have been threats and that there is possibility of an attack to happen. Another goal is to make sure Daesh knows that the world knows and cancels the attacks, which will disorientate them for a while."
The targets listed by Anonymous are as follow:
Cigales Electroniques with Vocodecks, RE-Play & Rawtor at Le Bizen (Paris)
Concrete Invites Drumcode: Adam Beyer, Alan Fitzpatrick, Joel Mull at Concrete (Paris)
Demonstration by Collectif du Droit des Femmes (Paris)
Feast of Christ the King celebrations (Rome/Worldwide)
Al-Jihad, One Day One Juz (Indonesia)
Five Finger Death Punch (Milan)
University Pastoral Day (Holy Spirit University of Kaslik, Lebanon)
That excerpt indicated that the spread of the rumors would result in the cancellation of the attacks in question by ISIS, which assumed that foreknowledge would definitively be sufficient disincentive for the group to proceed (without any indication why that might be so). The statement also allowed for a failure of the prediction to more readily be accepted as positive proof the warning was credible, whether or not any additional information substantiated the claims.
IBT added a direct statement from folks claiming to be Anonymous operatives addressing a lack of evidence for their assertions:
"If we share the proof [publicly], everyone will start calling it fake because screenshots can be edited and accounts can be deleted. We have purposely not shared account links publicly because they would be shut down immediately and then no one would believe the proof."
Soon after the rumor began circulating, @YourAnonNews (the largest and most cohesive Anonymous presence on Twitter) sent a tweet stating the group was neither responsible for nor even aware of the claims:
Later that day the FBI also released a statement indicating that while they were aware of the rumors, the threat wasn't considered credible:
The FBI is aware of reports of an alleged threat that includes an Atlanta, Georgia venue and event. While we take all threats seriously, we do not have specific or credible information of an attack at this time. We have, however, made the proper notifications as we continue to work closely with our law enforcement and private sector partners to keep our community safe.
In short, the warning wasn't published by established Anonymous sources and wasn't vetted by the (admittedly amorphous) group's main channels. The FBI reviewed the claims, and didn't believe they were based on credible intelligence. The individual or individuals who released the statement refused to corroborate their claims, and all parties involved believed it was safe to proceed with the 22 November 2015 WWE event.

Anonymous hackers claim ISIS militants are plotting 'worldwide day of terror' TOMORROW
Anonymous hackers claim ISIS militants are plotting 'worldwide day of terror' TOMORROW 3/19
Hacking group Anonymous claims ISIS is plotting a worldwide day of terror.
In a statement the secretive collective claims terrorists are plotting to carry out as many as eight attacks on Sunday.
France, the United States, Indonesia, Italy and Lebanon have reportedly been targeted, according to posts on Twitter alongside the hashtags #22Daesh #OpParis.
Among the events targeted is the WWE wrestling event at the Philips Arena in Atlanta, Georgia, the Express reports.
Hacker group Anonymous have declared war against ISIS after the attacks in Paris last Friday night.
Posting a video on YouTube, the group said it would use its knowledge to "unite humanity" and warned the terrorists to "expect us".
The group's latest statement comes as Europe remains on a high state of alert amid fears of further attacks.
Belgian special forces arrested four people today as the country remained on the highest terrorism alert possible, Level 4.
The arrests were made at around 3pm today in the Place du Grand Sablon, according to local media.
The Belgian army have been drafted on to the streets of Brussels and the city's metro shut down as security chiefs announced there was a "serious and imminent" threat.
The capital had been put into lockdown after reports emerged that the city was facing the threat of a bomb and gun attack similar to that seen on the streets of Paris a week ago.
Anonymous claims terrorists are aiming to carry out as many as eight attacks both in Western countries and the Middle East.
© Rex Anonymous claims terrorists are aiming to carry out as many as eight attacks both in Western countries and the Middle East.
Charles Michel, Belgian Prime Minster, said the decision to raise the alert was "based on quite precise information about the risk of an attack like the one that happened in Paris".
Speaking at a news conference, he said the fear was that "several individuals with arms and explosives could launch an attack ... perhaps even in several places".
Mr Michel added: "We urge the public not to give in to panic, to stay calm. We have taken the measures that are necessary."
Heavily-armed soldiers are patrolling the streets, trucks drive down the roads and members of the public have been told to avoid public gatherings - such as concerts - while the threat is examined.
Belgium's national Crisis Centre raised its terrorism alert for the Brussels region to Level 4, which indicates a "serious and immediate threat".
