A 19-year-old Islamic State sympathizer was arrested in Austria for plotting a suicide attack at a Taylor Swift concert in Vienna, aiming to kill himself and as many attendees as possible. Authorities also apprehended a 17-year-old accomplice, with both suspects found to possess radicalized materials linked to ISIS and al-Qaeda.

The investigation continues as officials assess the suspects' radicalization and potential broader networks.
