American Intel Helped Prevent ‘ISIS-Connected’ Terror Plot, Official Says

C.I.A.’s Deputy Director David S. Cohen reportedly said the agency was involved in helping to thwart a terror plot targeting Taylor Swift’s concerts at an annual Intelligence Summit, Wednesday.

Cohen spoke at the summit held just outside of Washington D.C., and credited American intelligence for playing an integral role in foiling an alleged terror plot that forced the cancelation of three of Swift’s Vienna Eras Tour shows, according to The New York Times (NYT). The agency reportedly turned over information on four individuals allegedly tied to ISIS who were implicated in the plot, according to deputy director.

“They were plotting to kill a huge number, tens of thousands of people at this concert, I am sure many Americans,” Cohen alleged, according to the outlet.
