India vs Pakistan Match in New York to Have “Tightest Security Ever,” Amid Terror Attack Threat
The highly anticipated India-Pakistan clash in the T20 World Cup is under a security threat with the New York Police Department on high alert.
Security personnel are preparing for the possibility of potential lone wolf attacks and are taking extensive measures to prevent disruptions. The police presence will be everywhere, on the ground and in the air, and “Nassau County will have seen the tightest security ever.”
This security situation at the upcoming India-Pakistan game was revealed to the media on Wednesday morning (Eastern Time) by Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman and Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder.
“Each and every day, Nassau County, as well as other communities and cities and counties and towns throughout the United States, receive all kinds of threats. We take every threat seriously,” Blakeman was quoted as saying by CBS News. “To that end, we have taken many, many precautions. As well as making sure that the stadium and the surrounding Eisenhower Park are safe, the parking areas are safe, the watch areas are safe, we also are adding 100 additional police officers to our normal staffing for the rest of the county, just as a precaution.”
One particular tip-off was about a potential lone wolf attack on the June 9 game, according to the report which attributed it to the police commissioner. “When you’ve got a game and a crowd as big as this, everything is credible. We will go through every fine detail when it comes to the security and safety of the residents here in Nassau County. I can guarantee you this is the largest security we’ve ever had to do in this county’s history, and I can also guarantee you the safest place to be in Nassau County on June 9 will be inside that stadium,” Ryder said.
