Austrian authorities have arrested a third teenager in connection with a thwarted terror plot targeting Taylor Swift’s now-canceled concerts in Vienna. This follows the earlier arrests of two other teenagers, aged 17 and 19, who were allegedly planning a mass casualty attack outside the concert venue.
The third suspect, an 18-year-old, was taken into custody Thursday evening in Vienna and is believed to have been in contact with the primary suspect. The motive behind the plot remains under investigation.
