There were warnings
The warning was not specific, the officials said, and they declined to say whether Russia was identified as a possible attacker.
The C.I.A. issued a vague warning in June to a number of European nations, including Germany, that the two Nord Stream gas pipelines that carry natural gas from Russia could be targeted in forthcoming attacks, three senior officials familiar with the intelligence said on Tuesday.

- Neither I nor the government have been notified. I also don't think that this type of explosion is something that is warned about. Of course, I cannot go into what discussions are in other countries, says Bødskov.
US authorities have reportedly warned Germany several times about the possibility of attacks on underground and submarine gas pipelines.
[MRT: Note the plural]
As recently as a few weeks ago, an inquiry is said to have come from the American intelligence service CIA, according to German Der Spiegel and the American New York Times...
