No terror threat to World Cup

The National Joint Operational and Intelligence Structure has strongly disputed yesterday reports which stated that there may be a terrorist threat against the Fifa World Cup.

The reports also stated that South Africa had drawn up a watch-list of 40 terror suspects and had received two separate accounts of at least one arrest linked to World Cup threats.

The Intelligence Structure's Dennis Adriao says this information is inaccurate and that security plans for the World Cup are on track.
