There is increasing fear of a terror attack at the Rio Olympics after journalists were attacked for the second time in as many days. 
 

A bus carrying mediapersons from the Games basketball venue to the main Olympic park at Barra da Tijuca had its windows shattered in an "apparent attack," according to witnesses. 

 

No person was seriously injured in the incident and it is still unclear if the bus was fired at or attacked with stones.

 

The foreign reporters on the bus reportedly heard two shots hitting the vehicle. The flying glass from the shattered windows left three people with minor cuts. 

 

According to the Guardian, Mario Andrade, the Rio 2016 spokesman, said, "We don’t know yet if it was stones or bullets. The police are investigating."

 

On the other hand, a journalist with the domestic news agency Globo, who was on board, has ruled out a terror attack and claimed a few stones were hit at the vehicle. 

 

Earlier, a bullet ripped through the media tent at the equestrian venue. The bullet left visible holes on the wall, and also caused considerable scare among the onlookers. This incident happened the same day that an explosion took place near the cycling race's finish line.

 

However, it was revealed that the blast was not a terror attack but that the Brazilian military had carried out a controlled explosion.  

 

These attacks are being connected to a terror attack majorly because just before kickoff, Brazil's anti-terror chief had admitted there was a "credible" threat that ISIS will target the Games.

 

Brazil received a huge threat in November 2015 by Maxime Hauchard, a French national identified as an executioner in Islamic State propaganda videos. The tweet read: 'Brazil, you are our next target.' Nevertheless, Brazil, who hosted a successful FIFA World Cup in 2014, has ensured full-fledged security for Rio 2016.
