(AFP) German prosecutors said Friday they had filed charges against a Syrian youth and alleged Islamic State group supporter linked to a 2024 attack plot on a Vienna concert by US pop megastar Taylor Swift.
The suspect, only partially named as Mohammad A., was accused of supporting a foreign terrorist organisation and of preparing a serious act of violence endangering the state, federal prosecutors said.
He had, as a juvenile, started following IS ideology from April last year at the latest and had from July been in contact with a young adult from Austria who was planning a bomb attack at one of Swift’s concerts, they said.
