Taylor Swift concert plot: Austrian police find bomb chemicals in suspect’s home

Austrian, 19, arrested alongside 17-year-old for allegedly planning Islamist attack at Vienna venue

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 that could have been used to make a bomb, a senior Austrian security official has said.

The Austrian suspect was arrested along with a 17-year-old for allegedly planning an Islamist attack. A third person, also 17, 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.
