White supremacist group gives World Cup warning
A South African white supremacist group whose leader was killed warned other countries Sunday to avoid sending their soccer teams to the World Cup and "to a land of murder.''
The country's ruling ANC party criticized the far-right Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging movement over the warning.
"We don't think that it's the right thing to do,'' ANC spokesman Jackson Mthembu told The Associated Press. "This is a World Cup for all of us, not only black people of this country. And we have to give all the support we can for the World Cup to happen here in South Africa. We think our compatriots in the AWB should do the same as other patriotic South Africans.''
