Taylor Swift concert terror plot intended to kill 'tens of thousands of people': CIA official

The deputy director of the CIA confirmed that the intended terrorist plot at Taylor Swift's shows in Vienna earlier this month intended on killing "a huge number" of people – including Americans.

David S. Cohen revealed at the Intelligence and National Security Summit, as seen in a video on CSPAN, that the information Austrian authorities used to stop the terror plot from occurring was given to the CIA.

"They were plotting to kill a huge number, tens of thousands of people at this concert, I am sure many Americans," Cohen said.
