Federal prosecutors have charged a juvenile, identified partially as Mohammad A., for supporting a foreign terrorist organization and planning a violent act endangering public safety. He was allegedly involved with an adult from Austria who aimed to bomb a Taylor Swift concert. The accusations arise from his actions since April last year, which include translating bomb-making instructions and helping establish contact with an IS member online. The charges come in the context of three concert cancellations last summer due to terror threats, raising significant concerns about public safety.
The accused assisted the young adult in his preparations by translating bomb-making instructions from Arabic and establishing contact with an IS member abroad.
Three Vienna shows that were part of Swift's record-breaking 'Eras' tour were cancelled last summer after authorities warned of a terror plot by IS sympathisers.
