Security at the Olympics is to be stepped up after a media bus was damaged in transit between Rios Deodoro zone and the main transport mall at the Olympic Park.Two windows were smashed as the bus travelled between the two venues at 7:30 p.m. local time, with about a dozen media personnel on board.Mario Andrada, the chief spokesman for Rio 2016s organising committee, said: We dont know yet if the bus was shot, or it was a stone.A retired U.S. Air Force captain who now writes about womens basketball said she was certain it was gunfire.Britains Press Association on Wednesday quoted Lee Michaelson, who was on the bus Tuesday, as saying that she instinctively hit the floor when she heard the sound of gunfire and hollered to the others ... `Get down! Get down! We are taking fire.I know what a gun sounds like, she said. It was the sound before I ever saw the glass (shatter) or anything.Andrada said three of the 12 journalists on the bus suffered minor injuries.The International Olympic Committee said security forces are investigating the incident.An IOC statement read: We are aware that a media bus travelling from Deodoro to Barra on the Transcarioca had two windows broken by objects coming from the surrounding area.The security authorities are now investigating the incident and we await their report before making further comment.A statement from the Rio Olympic Games organising committee (ROCOG) read: According to the drivers report, the media transport bus left the Youth Arena in Deodoro at around 1930 this evening, Tuesday August 9, travelling towards the Olympic Park.When on the expressway Transolimpica, near Curicica, the driver heard a noise from inside the bus which he thought was photography equipment falling down.Immediately, he looked in the rear-view mirror and noticed that the passengers were lying on the ground. He continued to drive for a few metres until he saw a police car and stopped. At this time, he realised that two windows on the same side of the bus were broken.The driver will provide a statement to police this evening accompanied by a security manager of the Organising Committee of the Rio 2016 Olympic Games.Also tonight the bus will be subjected to an official inspection by the police. Preliminary results will be released as they become available.The area defense general co-ordinator (CGDA) of the army and the military police informed that patrols are being increased in the area.A Press Association photographer, travelling on the bus at the time of the incident, said: We were travelling from the hockey venue to the main press centre. I was sitting at the back. There was a popping, cracking noise.The bus didnt come to a stop but paused. Everyone was on the floor so I got on the floor as well. The bus driver stopped the bus about half a minute afterwards. People started shouting just keep going. After a couple of minutes we had a police escort.A few minutes later the bus pulled over on the motorway and the driver spoke to the police. Then we all got back on the bus and came back to the main transport mall. There were minor injuries from glass shards but nobody was seriously hurt.There were pierced holes in the glass when it happened. The two windows did not shatter immediately but one of them shattered as we drove along the motorway. That is when the driver pulled over and talked to a policeman.The incident on Tuesday is the latest of several at the Games. On Saturday, a bullet flew through the side of the media work room at Deodoro.It was confirmed Monday by Andrada that the bullet was fired at a security camera on a police blimp from one of the Brazilian citys favelas and the international equestrian media were not the intended target.PA Sport contributed to this report.?Cheap Cardinals Jerseys Authentic . 8 Iowa State on Saturday, sending the Cyclones to their third consecutive loss.

He also suggested that other international sides should be more willing to play against Bangladesh.After such a great season, we are not playing for six months, Tamim told ESPNcricinfo. It would definitely hamper us. People should be more interested in playing against us but instead we are sitting on the sidelines. We dont know who we are going to play after six months. Theres no team in the world apart from Zimbabwe who sit out for so long between matches.Bangladeshs last international appearance was at the World T20 in India on March 26. Their next assignment is scheduled to be against England at home in October, after their maiden Test in India was pushed back to early next year. A proposed West Indies tour of Bangladesh in September is under discussion but is yet to be confirmed.Tamim said it was all the more frustrating to wait for international cricket after having had a successful 2015. Bangladesh reached the World Cup quarter-finals in early 2015, before going on to beat Pakistan, India, South Africa and Zimbabwe in consecutive ODI series at home. That string of wins secured their place in the 2017 Champions Trophy in England.ddddddddddddIn light of the teams improvement, Tamim wondered why other teams were still reluctant to play Bangladesh.Sitting for six months is not doing justice to anything, he said. I could have understood if we played like we did five years ago when our result was predictable, but after performing so well they still dont want to play us, I dont know.Bangladesh have been growing accustomed to such long breaks in international cricket over the last five years. Usually they face a lull in Test cricket but, this time, they are missing out on all formats after busy 2015 and 2015-16 seasons. The BCB said that it was trying to get teams to play against Bangladesh but also felt that players needed a break after non-stop cricket for 15 months.Tamim said any team would suffer after such a prolonged break, and stressed that Bangladesh deserved more cricket at the highest level.Take any top team and tell them to sit for six months, Tamim said. You will see how they perform after sitting for eight months. They wont play the way they were playing.The full interview with Tamim Iqbal will be published on June 30[url=http://wwwTamim said.
