JIHADIST ISSUE WARNING OF PARIS-STYLE ATTACK ON MOSCOW TUBE
A
wifi system available on the metro network - the busiest outside Asia -
flashed up the message: 'Paris was yesterday, Moscow is today.'
The threat came after the possible hacking of the internet system on 20 November, but details were only revealed yesterday.
A
number of passengers complained to police about the menacing threat,
which was registered on the north-south Kaluzhsko-Rizhskaya line, which
passes close to the Kremlin in central Moscow.
Denis
Savin told major Russia media outlet LifeNews, which disclosed the
threat,: 'I took my tablet and tried to connect to the wifi but instead
of the authorisation page I saw a black flag with an Arabic sign and
words in Russian above it.
'It read: 'Paris was yesterday, Moscow is today!'
He and his friend Alexei Komov were 'worried' about the message and approached a policeman at Prospekt Mira station, he said.
They saved a screenshot and passed it to police.
'Several similar reports from passengers were received on the same day by other police stations,' reported pro-Kremlin LifeNews.
Police
are checking how the shocking messages were seen by travellers on the
metro, which carries 6.75 million people a day on its 203 miles, one of
the most efficient underground train systems in the world.
