Germany’s Federal Prosecutor’s Office in Karlsruhe on Friday said judges had indicted a teenager accused of having helped to plot a foiled attack on a Taylor Swift concert in Vienna last year,
The US pop star canceled three scheduled concerts in Vienna as part of her Eras tour in August 2024 after the arrest of two young men suspected of planning a terrorist attack.
What are the allegations?
The teenager in Germany, a Syrian national, is accused of translating a bomb-making manual from Arabic and connecting the Austrian man with a member of the so-called “Islamic State” (IS) abroad.
He also allegedly provided a template for an oath of allegiance to IS, which the Austrian suspect is believed to have used to declare his membership in the terrorist organization.
According to prosecutors, the teen is not in custody.
The Austrian suspect is accused of planning to drive a car loaded with explosives into the crowd of Swift fans waiting to enter the stadium ahead of the concert.
