Extremists are suspected of planning IS attack on Taylor Swift concert

The main suspect, a 19-year-old man, was arrested in a town south of Vienna, while the second person was arrested in the capital. The authorities state that they have taken note of “preparatory measures” for a possible attack and that the main suspect focused on Swift’s concerts. Chemical substances have been seized and are being investigated. The 19-year-old is believed to have been radicalized on the internet. Security is being tightened around Swift’s three concerts in Vienna, which will be held on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
