Syrian juvenile charged over Swift concert plot

Germany has charged a Syrian juvenile with supporting a foreign terrorist organisation for helping to plan a foiled attack on a Taylor Swift concert in Vienna last year, the prosecutor general has said in a statement. Identified as Mohammad A, the suspect helped the would-be attacker by translating Arabic bomb-building instructions and putting him in contact with a member of the Islamic State militia online, according to the charges against him. Police made multiple arrests over a suspected plot to attack a Taylor Swift concert in the Austrian capital's Ernst Happel Stadium, prompting the cancellation of all three of her shows there in August last year. "Mohammad A has adhered to the ideology of the terrorist organisation Islamic State (IS) since April 2024 at the latest," read the statement, issued on Friday. "Between mid-July and August 2024, he was in contact with a young Austrian who was planning a bomb attack on a concert by singer Taylor Swift in Vienna." Austria's coalition government earlier this month agreed on a plan to enable police to monitor suspects' secure messaging in order to thwart militant attacks, ending what security officials have said is a rare and dangerous blind spot for a European Union country.
