Third teen arrested over Taylor Swift terror plot after pledging allegiance to ISIS
[NYPOST] A third teenager has been arrested over the foiled bloodbathterror plot to strike a Taylor Swift concert in Austria — just days after he pledged allegiance to ISIS, Austrian security officials said Friday. The 18-year-old Iraqi national was nabbed Thursday night in Vienna after authorities realized he'd been in contact with the alleged ringleader before the sinister plans were uncovered, according to Interior Minister Gerhard Karner. He had been in contact with the main perpetrator, but is not directly connected to the attack plans,the minister told a news conference. But, as was found out a few days ago, he took an oath of allegiance specifically to the IS on Aug. 6,he said, referring to the terror group the Islamic State, also known as ISIS. The third suspect ran in the same social circles as the alleged mastermind — a 19-year-old Austrian with North Macedonian roots, Karner added.
