Pakistan’s intelligence office sent a high -level alert on Monday, and warned of the country’s security agencies about a possible plot by “active secret groups” to kidnap foreign citizens who attend the ICC 2025 Champions Cup for ransom. According to CNN -NeS18, the alert mentioned threats from terrorist groups, including Tehrik-E Taliban Pakistan (TTP), ISIS, and other extremist groups.
In response to revenge, Pakistan rented large -scale security protocols, such as Rangers and the police, to ensure the security of both the players and their teams throughout the tournament. This alert follows Pakistan’s decision to host the event that has been very collected, and is a major teacher of the country’s cricket world. However, this shift in events is wondering about the capabilities of Pakistan in terms of safety when it comes to hosting major international events.
Pakistan was criticized in the past for the lack of reporting or reducing foreign national attacks, including 2024 attack on Chinese engineers in Shangla and 2009 attack on the Sri Lankan cricket team in Lahore. The attacks have sparked more concerns about the country’s readiness to deal with such incidents safely.
Earlier, due to security threats, India has exceeded traveling to Pakistan to compete and instead play the Champions Cup equipment in Dubai. This step hastened in a larger discussion, with security concerns and jewelry competition that plays central roles in determining India’s decision.
