SNIPPET: “Ariel Cohen, a Russia expert at the Heritage Foundation, said that the threat level posed by Umarov and other terrorists is “very high,” particularly for U.S. and Israeli Olympians.
“But it’s a threat level for everybody,” he said, noting that Russian security services are frequently ineffective when it comes to stopping terrorists.
“The track record of the Russian services is not stellar,” Cohen said, noting several successful suicide bombings of planes and trains, as well as massive hostage taking and other acts of terror in Russia.
“And Sochi is right next to the Caucasus theater” and just a half a day’s drive from terrorist strongholds, meaning “it will be even easier” to launch an attack.”
