Trial begins in Austria for man accused of plotting attack on Taylor Swift Vienna concert

A 21-year-old Austrian citizen identified as Beran A. went on trial Tuesday in Wiener Neustadt, Austria, charged with terrorism offenses related to an alleged plot to attack Taylor Swift's August 2024 Vienna concerts. The plot was thwarted before the concerts, which were subsequently canceled by Austrian authorities. Beran A.'s defense attorney indicated her client plans to plead guilty to most charges; he faces up to 20 years in prison.
