A Pro-ISIS group posts ominous message showing Eisenhower Park’s new cricket stadium that is set to host World Cup in June.
The image showed the new 34,000-seater venue, with text saying “You wait for matches and we wait for you.”
A law enforcement official says there’s no evidence of any specific plot or credible threat against the stadium.
Authorities plan to ramp up police presence at cricket watch parties and the FBI’s Nassau County office will work on security with local law enforcement partners.
