Numerous reports Saturday afternoon stated that hacktivist group Anonymous leaked information about a possible attack from Islamic-extremist group ISIS at Sunday’s Survivor Series pay-per-view at the Philips Arena in Atlanta, Ga.
However, WSBTV reporter Mark Winne reported the following from the Federal Bureau of Investigation:
FBI: “While we take all threats seriously, we do not have specific or credible information of an attack at this time”
— Mark Winne (@MarkWinneWSB)
FBI:made propernotifications, “continue to work closely with our law enforcement &private sector…to keep our community safe.” — Mark Winne (@MarkWinneWSB)
WWE Executive Vice President of Talent, Live Events, and Creative Paul Levesque (Triple H) later released a six-tweet statement on Twitter about the developing situation and security measures that will be taken:
Federal, state and local law enforcement authorities have confirmed there is no specific or credible information involving a threat against tomorrow’s WWE Survivor Series at Philips Arena. However, WWE and Philips Arena have coordinated with the appropriate agencies and law enforcement, and significantly increased security measures to ensure the safety of all those in attendance, which is our highest priority. Doors will open at 6 p.m. to help fans avoid any delays in entering the arena due to the additional precautionary security procedures put in place. Fans are encouraged to take public transportation (MARTA) to the event and are advised that bags will not be permitted in the arena.
