A statement released on Saturday by police in Vienna, Austria reveals that an unnamed “friendly” intelligence service has warned several European cities of possible terror attacks.

According to the statement, which did not name the cities that have been warned, the attacks would involve explosives or guns and may occur sometime between Christmas and New Year’s Eve.‎

But the warning did include the names of several possible attackers the Vienna police have investigated without finding “concrete further results.”
“Overall, this is a lead, which stipulates a higher than general abstract state of danger,” the Vienna police said.
