AUSTRIA: A third teenager has been arrested in connection with a foiled attack on now-cancelled Taylor Swift concerts in Vienna, Interior Minister Gerhard Karner today.

An 18-year-old was taken into custody Thursday evening in Vienna after allegedly being in contact with the main suspect.

Investigators are scrutinising the “networks” of the suspects, the Austrian interior ministry told the Associated Press today, saying in a statement that investigators have turned to evaluating physical and electronic evidence.
