Terror fears for Carter funeral as state send-off is ‘perfect time for an attack’ after New Orleans rampage & Vegas bomb EX-PRESIDENT Jimmy Carter's state funeral is the "perfect target for terrorists" after the two deadly New Year's Day attacks, warns a security expert.
A suspected terrorist with links to ISIS mowed down and shot dead 14 New Year's Eve revellers in New Orleans.
Will told The Sun these two tragedies need to act as a "wake up call" for security teams as they gear up towards the funeral of former president Carter.
Will said: "In the wake of the two specific incidents that took place on New Year's Day it does not come as a huge surprise to the security community.
International security specialist Will Geddes told The Sun that American officials "cannot afford" to allow for another strike at the event with the world's eyes firmly fixed on it.
