Taylor Swift ISIS suspects planned to drive bomb-laden car into crowd, hired as stadium security

The teen suspects arrested for plotting an ISIS-style terror attack at one of Taylor Swift’s Austrian concerts this week had planned to drive a bomb-filled car into the crowd to kill as many as possible and had reportedly just been hired by the venue to work security.

Terrifying details of the foiled attack emerged after authorities revealed that two men, ages 19 and 17, had been taken into custody in Vienna on Wednesday — resulting in Swift’s three sold-out Eras shows in the city being canceled.

The two suspects, who investigators say had become radicalized online by ISIS, had allegedly wanted to carry out the attack outside the Ernst Happel Stadium — killing fans with self-made explosives and machetes, security officials said Thursday.

The alleged ringleader, a 19-year-old Austrian with North Macedonian roots, had chemical substances and technical devices stashed inside his home when it was raided by authorities, according to officials.

Meanwhile, the second suspect — a 17-year-old Austrian citizen with Turkish and Croatian roots — was nabbed by special police forces near the stadium where the concerts were supposed to take place this week.

One of them was 17, exactly the same age as the killer in Southport...
