Don't see anything about spurs apart from the picture. Is it confirmed that we were the target in another article?
In the original there was a quote that he should target Spurs fans but it looks like it's going through a lot of editing, I suspect the Spurs photo will be replaced by a picture of a football before too long

It's a Jewish website. Possibly an incorrect assumption that a stereotypically Jewish club would be the target if they were to attack a stadium?

It's scary to think that stadiums must be high on their agenda. So much carnage could occur if they pulled it off.

Maybe he just wanted to help with the WHL demo.

I'm surprised that the Johan Cruijff (formerly Amsterdam) ArenA hasn't been targeted - a high profile stadium where a stereotypically 'Jewish' club play, and for any terrorist living in the Netherlands or a nearby country, it's so easy to reach Amsterdam. I've never been there, but I suspect they're hot on security there.

The last time I went a couple years ago I forgot to take a few lighters out my cabin bag, and I'm pretty sure there was probably a bit of the sticky icky in there too, the security guy noticed it and gave me a jokey serious look. I apologised and said I forgot those were in there and he can throw them away, then he laughed "no more smoking back home then huh?" and let me get on my plane back home without searching the bag further.

I was positive I was due a cavity search for that considering I'm an Asian lad. Top bloke that security guy, but a worrying sign for future security.

I would guess the security at Schiphol and the security at the Arena might be different people mate. Still cool story bro(n)
