Moscow has been accused of a broad campaign of sabotage and potential assassination plots across Europe.
Western arms manufacturers appear to be facing a serious threat from Russian-linked covert action, after media reports this week suggested that the CEO of a top German weapons firm was the subject of a foiled assassination bid backed by Moscow.CNN was first to report on the alleged plot, citing unnamed U.S. and Western sources with knowledge of the matter.
But National Security Council spokesperson Adrienne Watson said in a statement to CNN that 'Russia's intensifying campaign of subversion is something that we are taking extremely seriously and have been intently focused on over the past few months.''The United States has been discussing this issue with our NATO Allies, and we are actively working together to expose and disrupt these activities,' she added.
