3rd teenager arrested in foiled attack on Taylor Swift concerts in Vienna

A third teenager has been arrested in connection with the foiled attack on now-canceled Taylor Swift concerts in Vienna, according to Austrian Interior Minister Gerhard Karner.

The 18-year-old Iraqi citizen was taken into custody in Austria's capital on Thursday evening after allegedly being in contact with the main suspect, a 19-year-old Austrian citizen who was arrested on Wednesday, Karner said Friday. A 17-year-old suspected accomplice -- another Austrian citizen -- was also arrested on Wednesday.

A 15-year-old Turkish citizen who had been detained for questioning is no longer being interrogated and has been released, a spokesperson for Austria's Ministry of the Interior said Friday. There is no arrest warrant for him.

The investigation into the foiled terror attack is ongoing and investigators are looking at the environment of the three arrested persons, the spokesperson said. Digital data carriers were found on the suspects and are now being analyzed, the spokesperson said.
