Vienna. More and more details are emerging every day about the 17-year-old terror suspect, who was arrested in Vienna on Tuesday last week and a large-scale investigation was launched against him.
According to the latest information obtained while the investigation continues, it was revealed that the young man was planning to stab frightened passers-by with a combat knife in the Vienna Hauptbahnhof until he was shot by the police. Allegedly, the 17-year-old young man first wanted to cause chaos by setting off a firework in the Vienna Hauptbahnhof, and then he was going to stab passers-by.
His goal and motivation is to go to heaven
It is said that the 17-year-old young man expressed this in a Telegram group where he had been a member for several months and was seeking encouragement, where he became even more radicalized in a very short time. According to his own statements, it was learned that he promised himself „heaven“, clearly referring to the Vienna assassin who killed four people in the city center before being shot dead by the police on November 2, 2020.
While it cannot be confirmed whether the suspected Islamist “had definite ideas” about choosing his victims, Vienna Public Prosecutor’s Office Spokesperson Judith Ziska „He didn’t go there specifically to target police officers or specific groups of people. “He went there because there are a lot of people there.” said.
Why the boy gave up his plans, whether he just lost his courage or whether there were other reasons is the subject of ongoing investigations. The suspected Islamist has been detained since last Thursday on charges of having ties to terrorism and establishing a criminal organization. On the other hand, it was learned that the young terror suspect had no previous convictions for similar or other crimes. (yenivatan.at)
