The man who ran security at 1984 Los Angeles Olympics and the 1996 Atlanta Games — where a bomber killed two and wounded more than 100 — warns that Iranian “sleeper cells” are likely plotting attacks during next month’s World Cup, as federal officials race to secure the 39-day competition.
“I’m fairly confident there are Iranian sleeper cells or surrogate sleeper cells, and this would be an incredible opportunity for sleeper cells to attack,” Former LAPD Deputy Chief Bill Rathburn told The Post.
His comments came after the feds warned about Iranian “prepositioned sleeper assets” in the US while the war with Iran raged. The fighting is down to a simmer after the US launched strikes on Iranian targets Thursday following attacks on three US ships in a response President Trump called a “love tap.”
Chris Swecker, who ran security for the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics, held in the aftermath of the Sept. 11 attacks, also pointed to Middle East turmoil as a concerning threat factor.
“There’s an animation around the sport to begin with,” said Swecker, who served as assistant director of the FBI. “You’ve got the presence of foes coming to the World Cup from different parts of the world. It’s not like it can escape the radar of terrorist organizations. It’s right there front and center.”
He cited the threat from “card-carrying terrorist cells, as well as the influence those that have been radicalized on the Internet.”

But it's soccer. Who would even go see it?
"OMG! They've taken Team Portugal hostage!"
The World Cup is a very big target - especially given the US is a host nation.
When are they not planning?
All over the world, every continent, everyday, everywhere, century after century, yet people and governments insist on pretending it is a religion.
Oy vey.
Iran has been plotting against America, been 2 weeks way from having a nuke, has been killing millions of Americans, and so on every time a neocon wants to drum up some business for the past 47 years.
A lot of the fans coming to the World Cup are vacationing foreigners. I thought we didn’t care about them.
Every...single...time
Most terror attacks on civilians are carried out by sunnis. Most of 9-11 terrorists were saudi and sunni. Shiite tend to attack military or political targets; us embassy, marine barracks, cia personnel.
A World Cup attendee is probably far more likely to die of a stupid and random act of violence in one of our cities here in the Greatest Country in the World than any kind of planned terror attack.
Why would they attack a Mexican city?
There are plenty of not so sleeper cells who protest on the streets regularly. Go after them
Remember those drones That were stolen recently?
Imagine those flying around a soccer stadium dispensing some sort of contagion.
I’m no the sky is falling wimp but you’d have to admit, it is feasible.
All of the celebrations, parades et cetera all over the country this summer for the 250th celebration, are going to be targets, not just the World Cup.
What was Rathburn’s involvement with the FIB in framing Richard Jewell in 1996?
If they’re still sleeping at this point, they are probably dead.
If they’re still sleeping at this point, they are probably dead.
....
So, Valerie Jarrett is dead?
Exactly.
They’re always planning something.
When in fact, islime is a death cult founded by a pedophile.
Good question.
