According to reports, one of the terrorists intended to crash a car into the audience outside the venue
(Taylor usually has non-inside followers waiting outside the venue to listen), and then a bomb would have gone off right after.
Police have detained a 15-year-old and arrested a 19-year-old on suspicion that the three of them conspired to carry out the assault.
According to reports, the alleged 19-year-old suspect intended to use both machetes and knives in the assault, and a picture of him with the tools has been making the rounds in international media.
The suspects displayed “concrete preparatory actions” in the lead-up, according to General Director for Public Security Franz Ruf. Authorities are rightfully labeling this a “serious terror plot.”
