1998 World Cup terror plot

Created by User2534 (talk). Self-nominated at 10:06, 3 September 2016 (UTC).

  • DYK checklist template

Lua error: expandTemplate: template "y" does not exist.

  • 16px Alt0 checks out ok. The Simon Kuper ref for Alt1 says about 100 people not over. The other ref doesn't support Alt1, only saying There was real fear of terrorist attacks on a huge scale during the World Cup. Later in article it says On 26 May, nearly 100 people were detained in coordinated operations in France, Belgium, Italy, Switzerland and Germany".
I'd suggest an Alt2 ...that the failure of a terror plot against the 1998 FIFA World Cup may have led to the 1998 United States embassy bombings?
Overall a very interesting piece. yorkshiresky (talk) 13:51, 3 September 2016 (UTC)
  • The nearly/around 100 was in the 26 May raids alone, which is added with at least two prior raids noted with nearly ten arrested in each. If it's not good enough then just change the alt from "over" to "around". (The main hook is still the main nom, though.) User2534 (talk) 17:38, 3 September 2016 (UTC)
