ISIS plot against Taylor Swift concert in Vienna narrowly foiled.
An ISIS-linked plot to attack a Taylor Swift concert in Austria has been narrowly foiled by police, according to reports.

Two suspects — a 19-year-old living in his parents’ home near Vienna, along with another man — were arrested Wednesday after police raided the home and found various chemicals and substances, according to the Austrian outlet Kronen Zeitung.

The pair were allegedly targeting Swift’s concerts at Vienna’s Ernst Happel Stadium, which she is scheduled to play Thursday through Saturday night to sold-out crowds.

“The suspected perpetrator was focused on the Taylor Swift concerts. Preparatory actions were detected,” said Austrian Director General for Public Safety Franz Ruf.
