Suspect in Swift terrorist plot wanted to buy fuse

Aug 19, 2024

Vienna [Austria], August 19: The suspect in the plot to detonate a bomb at one of Taylor Swift's Vienna concerts earlier this month inquired where he could buy a fuse, a friend of the suspect has revealed to police, the Austria Press Agency (APA) reported on Sunday.
When the friend, who is 15, asked the 19-year-old suspect what he intended to do with the fuse, the latter responded: "You will hear about it." The request came just days before the concerts during Swift's Eras tour, which were scheduled for August 8 to 10.
The 15-year-old reportedly told police he had not thought the suspect capable of a terrorist attack. The suspect remains in custody.
According to the Austrian authorities, chemicals and bomb-making equipment were found in the suspect's possession, along with machetes and knives. (DPA)
