Terrorist's dream - World Cup Football 2006 Germany

Terrorism relates to a strategy of using social threats, political violence or concerned attacks closely connected with unconventional warfare in manner of operation and conduct.

Terrorists posed the unprecedented threat which, as well as rogue states armed with weapons of mass destruction, cannot be settled by an outdated and insufficiently enforced non-proliferation regime. The international community’s obligation is to prevent security and humanitarian disasters at any price. (Higgins R., 1994)

The main purpose of the international terrorism is to attract global attention. It means that various acts of terrorism are realized not for terror itself, but for attracting attention to some problem or question, or for the fulfilment of some political purpose which cannot be fulfilled with the help of civilized decision. (Greig, D. W., 1976) Terrorist usually choose social organizations, places with big accumulation of people as their targets. So, they choose all that what will the most widely lighted up by the mass media. Such acts of terrorism as act of terrorism on the Olympic Games in Munich, when all the members of Israeli sport team were cruelty killed, or act of terrorism on September, 11 in the United States, New York, which is still unexcelled in the amount of victims and lighting up by the mass media, are the most profitable from the point of view of terrorist organizations. That is why the World Cup Football 2006 Germany which has opened on June, 9 is extremely attractive target for the act of terrorism. More than 3 million of spectators, almost all countries of the world, and the first place in all the news – all these benefits are related to the World Cup Football 2006 Germany.

The events with such a huge mass character and lighting up by the international mass media happen not very frequently. (Bluewort, D., 1999) However, unexampled means of security, intense control (more that 30 000 specially trained policemen guard sportsmen), and constant control of the airspace will prevent from any guileful criminal intentions.
