Friends of the 19-year-old leading suspect are believed to have been hired as security guards in the stewarding area of the Vienna concert, Austrian media reports
Suspects in a planned ISIS terror attack who forced Taylor Swift's shows in Vienna to be cancelled were reportedly hired as security guards for the concert, as more horrifying details of the plan are revealed.
Local outlets report that a "well advanced" bomb was to be constructed after chemical substances were found at his home. The suspect allegedly planned to create an explosive device using chemicals TATP, which are particularly sensitive to impact, Austrian outlet Kurier reports. The 19-year-old Austrian suspect with North Macedonian roots was arrested in Ternitz, south of Vienna, and the second person in the Austrian capital.
The company wrote: "We have no choice but to cancel the three scheduled shows for everyone’s safety", adding those who had purchased tickets for the show would receive an automatic refund within the next 10 business days. Swift was due to perform at Vienna's Ernst-Happel-Stadion on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
She also underlined the government’s commitment to introducing 'Martyn's Law' to ensure threatened venues have suitable security arrangements to prevent an attack.
