Police in Austria say they foiled an attack on Vienna’s annual Pride parade after arresting three suspects with alleged links to Islamic extremism.
The three – aged 14, 17 and 20 – are Austrian nationals of Bosnian and Chechen origin, Omar Haijawi-Pirchner from Austria’s State Protection and Intelligence Directorate told journalists at a hastily called press conference Sunday. They had allegedly become radicalized online and developed views sympathetic to ISIS, according to Haijawi-Pirchner. “In our democratic society, hate and terror have no place,” he said.
” The DSN had advance knowledge of the suspects’ alleged plans and kept them “under constant control.” The trio were arrested ahead of Saturday’s parade by Austria’s Cobra special forces. “The investigations by the State Protection and Intelligence Directorate found that multiple people were planning an attack on the parade,” a statement released by Austria’s Interior Ministry said.
