The 19-year-old prime suspect in an alleged plot to attack a Taylor Swift concert in Vienna that led to the cancellation of the singer’s three-night run in the Austrian capital had collected chemicals with the intention of building a bomb, senior Austrian security officials have said.

The Austrian suspect was arrested along with a 17-year-old who recently started working for a services company providing support for the concerts for allegedly planning an Islamist attack. A third person, 15, was taken into custody late on Wednesday in connection with the investigation.

Authorities said they had reason to believe one of the Swift concerts was a target but dismissed media reports there were still suspects at large.

The 19-year-old suspect intended “either today or tomorrow to kill himself and a large crowd of people” the head of state protection and intelligence at the Austrian interior ministry, Omar Haijawi-Pirchner, told a news conference. He said the alleged plotter was part of an Islamist network known to police.

Taylor Swift fans with tickets to her concerts in Vienna have said they are "devastated" that the shows have been cancelled, but that they understand why and are grateful to police.

 

You would not understand why reading the BBC report.
