The deadly attack on Togo's team bus in Angola will not affect the World Cup in South Africa this year, chief World Cup organizer Danny Jordaan said on Saturday. Gunmen opened fire on Togo's bus on Friday in the Angolan enclave of Cabinda to kill two delegation members and wound several others. However, Jordaan insisted the incident should not be a cause for concern ahead of this summer's World Cup, which will take place in Africa for the first time in history. "It's nothing to do with it and I think everybody understands it has nothing to do with South Africa," Jordaan was quoted as saying by BBC Sport. "When there was a bomb in London no-one said we should not have 2012 in London so we cannot have double standards. "I don't think the world has ever asked one country to take responsibility for what happens in another country. "Every country's responsibility is to safeguard the event in their country so South Africa is nothing to do with the deployment of the forces in Angola." Togo have reportedly withdrawn from the Nations Cup following the unfortunate incident, which occurred three days before their opening game against Ghana. Midfielder Alaixys Romao said Togo were asking fellow Group B teams - Ghana, Ivory Coast and Burkina Faso - to follow in their footsteps and quit the biennial tournament. "Fortunately the majority of the world is not influenced by warped understanding of the African continent," Jordaan added. "If there is a war in Kosovo and a World Cup in Germany, no-one asks if the World Cup can go on in Germany, everyone understands the war in Kosovo is a war in Kosovo. "The world must be balanced and must not apply different standards when it comes to the African continent. "Our World Cup is secure and we are confident because we have employed a lot of resources to safeguard the event in our country."
