Committees in Germany, Hungary, Slovenia, Italy and the United States were among those that received the messages which contained what they called "terrorist threats." Although the messages received by the national Olympics offices continued to sharpen concern about security at the Winter Olympics in February, the International Olympic Committee said the anonymous warnings lacked credibility. Earlier in January, Russia has announced a set of measures to ensure security at the Olympic games in Sochi.
