Islamic State Suspects Face Trial In Vienna
A trial began in Vienna today against a suspected supporter of the Islamic State terrorist group. The case centers on the intent to cause mass casualties at the concert venue. The prosecution alleges a 21-year-old Austrian man intended to cause a massacre among Taylor Swift fans outside the Ernst-Happel-Stadion. A 21-year-old man named Arda Kay, K, is on trial for allegedly being part of an Islamic State cell. His lawyer, Anna Meyers, requested the jury look beyond headlines regarding the fear and panic caused by the client. The trial follows the cancellation of three Taylor Swift concerts in Vienna that were expected to host almost 200,000 people. An individual is on trial in Austria for allegedly attempting to illegally purchase weapons and construct a shrapnel bomb. The suspect reportedly received instructions on bomb construction from the internet.
