Austrian authorities have announced a third arrest in connection with the foiled conspiracy to attack three now-canceled Taylor Swift concerts.
Austrian authorities on Friday announced a third arrest following the foiled conspiracy to attack three now-canceled Taylor Swift concerts. The main suspect, a 19-year-old, planned to target onlookers gathered outside Ernst Happel Stadium — up to 30,000 each night, with an additional 65,000 inside the venue — with knives or homemade explosives during the concert Thursday or Friday. The suspect hoped to “kill as many people as possible,' authorities said.
Investigators discovered bomb-making materials at the main suspect’s home, as well as Islamic State group and Al Qaeda material at the 17-year-old’s home. That suspect, who has so far refused to talk, was employed a few days ago by a company providing unspecified services at the venue for the concerts.
