Taylor Swift Terrorist Plot

During the annual Intelligence Summit outside of Washington, D.C on Wednesday (August 28), CIA Deputy Director David S. Cohen revealed new details of the thwarted terror plot that led to the cancellation of all three of Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour shows in Vienna, Austria earlier this month. According to Cohen, the planned terror attack intended to kill and injure a considerable amount of Swift’s fans who were heading to her shows. “They were plotting to kill a huge number, tens of thousands of people at this concert, I am sure many Americans,” Cohen said. “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.” Three unnamed suspects have been arrested in the case, including a 19-year-old Austrian who is considered to be the main suspect. The other arrested suspects are a 17-year-old Austrian and an 18-year-old Iraqi.
