- 7 Apr 2016 9:00 AM
The CIA has not uncovered any concrete terror threat against Hungary, the prime minister’s chief security advisor told public television M1 on Wednesday, commenting on Polish press reports suggesting that the American agency had warned of a possible attack.
The government turned to the CIA over the report but received no confirmation of it, György Bakondi said.
Polish daily Rzeczpospolita wrote on Monday that the US had warned Poland that there was a danger of simultaneous attacks being launched in Berlin, Budapest and Warsaw.
Bakondi said that if there were a substantive threat then the US would have warned Hungary. He added that Budapest regularly receives information from the American authorities and the Hungarian authorities also actively take part in international cooperation by the secret services.
