Chemical substances have been found at the home of a 19-year-old Austrian suspected of planning an attack on forthcoming Taylor Swift concerts in Vienna, Austria’s intelligence chief has said.

Franz Ruf, public security director at Austria’s Interior Ministry, told public broadcaster ORF’s Oe1 programme on Thursday that, following the arrest of two suspects earlier this week, investigators found chemical substances and technical devices at the teenage suspect’s house and these are now being evaluated.
