Alleged Terror Plot Sparks Cancellation Of Taylor Swift Concerts In Austria
Three huge concerts by superstar pop singer Taylor Swift have been cancelled in Vienna after authorities on Wednesday announced they’d arrested two men alleged to have been plotting a terrorist attack. Three more suspects are reportedly at large.
“Both [arrested] suspects had become radicalized on the internet and had taken concrete preparatory actions for a terrorist attack,” said Austria’s interior department in a press release. As is so frequently the case in Europe, details on the suspects — and especially their demographics — are scarce at this point. Officials did say that one suspect is a 19-year-old Austrian citizen who’d recently made an online pledge of allegiance to the Islamic State terror group.
OK – who has “terrorist attack on Swift concert” on their 2024 Bingo card?? Just how weird is the next 6 months going to become??
