Video threatens Sochi Winter Olympics

Two men have claimed responsibility for the bombings that occurred in Volgograd last month. The two men were believed to be the suicide bombers in those attacks. This comes at a time of very high tension over the safety of the people who will be attending the Olympics. In, the video they left a very chilling message for people who will be visiting for the Olympics. They said, "We've prepared a present for you and all tourists who'll come over. If you will hold the Olympics, you'll get a present from us for the Muslim blood that's been spilled." This threat came shortly after Putin assured that all visitors to Sochi will be safe. One can only think that this is going to impact big time the turn out, as this is a very serious threat. Of course, the Olympics will be held still as planned and it is going to be interesting to see the security measures that Russia is going to take to ensure the safety of everyone. What remains unknown is exactly what terrorist group these people are representing, is it a new group that we should be worried about? Or perhaps just more of Al Qaeda?
