CIA Deputy Director David Cohen revealed at the Intelligence and National Security Summit that a terror plot against a Taylor Swift concert in Vienna aimed to kill tens of thousands, highlighting its severity and advanced planning.
Three suspects, aged 17, 18, and 19, were arrested for plotting the attack, which was inspired by ISIS and al-Qaeda, showing the ongoing threat of radicalization in Europe.
Omar Haijawi-Pirchner from Austria's Directorate of State Security noted that the 19-year-old suspect intended to use knives and homemade explosives to maximize casualties, indicating the calculated nature of the attack.
Following the foiled attack and arrests, Taylor Swift expressed her devastation over the cancellation of three sold-out concerts, reflecting the emotional impact on both the artist and her fans.
