BLACK SNOW IN SOCHI?

The Olympic Committees of at least 5 European countries besides the U.S. have received terrorist threats before the games in Sochi.

Despite assurances by the Russian authorities , letters containing terrorist threats delivered to the Olympic Committees of Italy , Hungary, Germany , Slovenia and Slovakia have caused alarm and caused some nervousness in relation to security.

The U.S. Olympic Committee confirmed that it had received a letter via e-mail containing threats.

 You have to remember that suicide bombers killed a little over a month ago about 34 people in a city Volgograd in southern Russia .

The Islamic militants have threatened to attack the Winter Olympics , and the security forces are already on the hunt for suicide bombers .

After analyzing the threatening letters Zsigmond Nagy , director of international relations , said that we are not facing a real danger "there is nothing to worry about ."

The IOC said that the opening ceremony on February 7 in Sochi on the shores of the Black Sea will be a ceremony secure.

Doku Umarov, the Chechen Bin Laden thinks otherwise and has asked the insurgents who are fighting for the establishment of an Islamic state in the North Caucasus attack Sochi.

In Sochi , where thousands of visitors are expected during the games security forces are already looking for a woman named Ruzanna Ibragimova of 23 years who is suspected to have planned a suicide bombing .

Let's be clear about one thing , the people most at risk in Sochi in all probability are not athletes but ordinary Russians , they are the ones most at risk of being killed because the nationalist rebels in the North Caucasus have promised to add blood to the which have already caused by suicide bombers , and the " black widows " who seems to already have infiltrated in Sochi ..

The rebels in Chechnya, Dagestan and Abkhazia have promised to hit the Olympics , and in all probability have the ability to do so.

In 2013 there were 375 deaths due to terrorist attacks in the region. In 2012, the Russian military forces found a cache of ammunition, bombs mines , mortars and grenade launchers just 24 km from Sochi .

As if that were not enough , there are fighters Syrians enraged and seeking revenge for the support given by Putin to Syrian President Bashar al- Assad.

To put it bluntly Putin and the IOC chose to host the Olympics right on the edge of a war zone .

It may be that Putin could protect the entire area in question with 60,000 police and special forces as well as a cyber -dome of electronic espionage and patrol drones. But Sochi is and remains undeniably an inviting target.

The hope is that in Sochi Putin has created a "ring of steel " suitable to keep people safe .

Anyway what the terrorists are trying to make is that all talk about security risks and potential attacks instead of games and so far they are succeeding .
