Terror on Sports too

If you will see history, terrorist never targetted sports or sports person, but after Srilankan cricket team attacked by terrorist in Pakistan in March 2009, sports is also becomng soft target for terrorist. If you see the history of Olymic games, despite war between so many countries, sports never hampered. all respect sports and sports person. England team pulled out of the badminton world championships going to be held in Hyderabad amid concerns about the team's security. according to official of english team, the decision followed "concerns about the English team potentially being a target of attack in the event of a terrorist act." The team had already arrived in India, but would be returning home immediately. "The decision follows media reports of a specific Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorist threat against the championships." Team official said, "This was an tough decision and one we didn't take lightly," However, an Indian badminton federation official blamed the media for causing panic. According to Badminton Association of India, english team called back by their government over security fears," but A rumour was stretched by the media internationally." Anyway rumor of threat is big loss for Sports, as well as Sports person.
