According to the Austrian police, one of the detainees is a 19-year-old who is suspected of pledging allegiance to ISIS. According to the authorities, the two suspects were radicalized by reading content on the Internet and developed detailed plans to carry out the plot. Following the concern, the three performances planned in Austria were cancelled.
