Prosecutors Charge Teenager in Connection With Terror Plot Against Taylor Swift Concert in Vienna
Briefly

He is accused of aiding the main suspect by translating bomb-building instructions from Arabic. Although Mohammad A. is not under custody due to his minor status, the case stems from credible threats that caused Swift to cancel her shows in August, with police arresting two individuals linked to the scheme, including a 19-year-old main suspect who remains in custody.
