According to a report, Paris will host the paralympic games in August and the plan is an opening ceremony on the river Seine, but security is concerned following threats from the islamic state group to football matches in Paris, Madrid and London. Reportedly, islamic state Khorasan province (is-k) claimed responsibility for the attack in Crocus city hall in Moscow.
According to the report, if the plan goes ahead over 10,000 athletes will sail along a 6 km stretch of the Seine in 160 barges but spectators will need a ticket invitation and the venue could be moved if the risk is judged too high.
