China is claiming to have cracked an "international terrorist group" that was allegedly planning an attack on a football match during the Beijing Olympics.
This is a developing story. We welcome your comments, photos, and video.
Police in Shanghai have confirmed they have cracked an alleged terrorist group that was planning an attack on the Beijing Olympics.A so-called international terrorist group was plotting an attack on a soccer match to be held in Shanghai as part of the Olympics, according to Chinese police.
Deputy director of the Shanghai Public Security Bureau, Cheng Jiulong, said a series of raids had cracked the cell.
He did not say where the would-be attackers were from or how many suspects had been detained.
The stadium concerned is where the Olyroos will play the first of two matches for China's Olympics.

China also staged a public counter terrorism exercise today. The state media was on hand to film it.

I have my own questions, however I have been expecting something of this nature during the Olympics. I keep feeling like it is the quiet before the storm here in the U.S. as we have not been attacked since 9/11.
