'Suspects hoped to kill...': Investigators reveal chilling details about foiled terror plot at Taylor Swift's concertsThe men arrested for the attempted terror attack at Taylor Swift's concerts in Vienna have revealed chilling details about their plansAustrian security officials said Thursday that the main suspect of the two arrested in a foiled plot to attack now-cancelled Taylor Swift shows in Vienna fully confessed to his plans to “kill as many people as possible outside the concert venue”. He was “clearly radicalised in the direction of the Islamic State and thinks it is right to kill infidels,” Haijawi-Pirchner said. Just a few weeks ago, the 19-year-old had also uploaded an oath of allegiance to the current leader of the Islamic State group militia to an internet account. Authorities also found Islamic State group and al-Qaida material at the home of the second suspect, a 17-year-old Austrian. The Vienna stadium had been sold out for the planned concerts, APA reported, with an estimated 170,000 fans expected for the concerts in Austria.
