The suspects in the foiled plot to attack Taylor Swift concerts in Vienna earlier this month sought to kill “tens of thousands” of fans before the CIA discovered intelligence that disrupted the planning and led to arrests, the agency’s deputy director said.

The CIA notified Austrian authorities of the scheme, which allegedly included links to the Islamic State group. The intelligence and subsequent arrests ultimately led to the cancellation of three sold-out Eras Tour showsdevastating fans who had traveled across the globe to see Swift in concert.

    They were gonna pass the knife to a fan and say stab yourself or double it and pass it on so the final fan would have to stab everyone as there was no one left to pass it on
