(Swiss Info) The Zurich cantonal police have arrested two men over suspected ties to the deadly attacks in Vienna that took place on Monday evening.
The arrests came after both federal and cantonal authorities announced they were investigating possible Swiss ties to the attacks.
“Concerning the attack in Vienna, Fedpol [Federal Police] and the Federal Intelligence Service are currently examining possible links with Switzerland, in close collaboration with the cantonal and Austrian authorities,” a spokeswoman for the intelligence services, Isabelle Graber, told the Agence France-Presse.
Just prior to this the Zurich cantonal police announced that they had formed a “Vienna” taskforce to “among other things, check whether the crimes committed in Vienna have a connection with the canton of Zurich.”
