Taylor Swift Vienna concert plot foiled by CIA warning, planned attack intended to kill thousands of people
ai generated text
The CIA provided intelligence to Austrian authorities, which allowed them to disrupt the plot and arrest three male teenage suspects who were found with bomb-making material and had access to the concert venue.
His aim was to kill himself and a large number of people during the concert.
The Austrians were able to make those arrests because the agency and our partners in the intelligence community provided them information about what this ISIS-connected group was planning to do.
They were plotting to kill a huge number, tens of thousands of people at this concert, I am sure many Americans.
I can tell you within my agency, and I'm sure in others, there were people who thought that was a really good day for Langley.
