The adversarial relationship between Washington and Moscow prevented U.S. officials from sharing any information about the plot beyond what was necessary, out of fear Russian authorities might learn their intelligence sources or methods.

Hmm?
I think it’s pretty clear that intel for the initially planned Crocus attack was well known. For some odd reason, that I couldn’t possibly fathom, the terrorists decided to call it off and do it another day. The initially planned dates had a more popular concert IIRC, so it would’ve been a better target.
