Emo fan collared in pop star bomb plot.

Another Iraqi-born terrorist has been caught! That makes three now—a trifecta of terror. Liberals better hope they have more than just thoughts and prayers to fight these guys because we all know guns are better than roses any day.

Liberal Tears as Taylor Swift Fans Foil ISIS Plot:

More Arrests, Less Terror

VIENNA, Austria – An 18-year-old Iraqi national with ties to the same circle as the main suspect in the planned terrorist attack on a Taylor Swift concert has been arrested. The interior minister, Gerhard Karner, confirmed the arrest during an unexpected press conference.

Austrian authorities have now arrested a total of four individuals in connection with the plot, which included plans to use bladed weapons and explosives to massacre fans outside Ernst Happel Stadium. The 19-year-old main suspect, an Austrian national, had pledged allegiance to ISIS and quit his job just days before executing his deadly plan.

Franz Ruf, the DG for public security, said authorities found an alarming stash during a search of the suspect's home: "chemical substances, liquids, explosives, and bomb-making instructions." National Intelligence head Omar Haijawi-Pirchner said the suspect aimed to "kill as many people as possible."

The plot was thankfully foiled with the help of a 17-year-old employee of a facility management company, who would've been working during the concert, and a 15-year-old, also detained and questioned.

He wanted to carry out an attack ... killing as many people as possible using the knives or even using the explosive devices he had made. - Omar Haijawi-Pirchner, National Intelligence Head.

The three sold-out concerts were canceled, and tickets refunded. A sad day for Swifties, but a win against Islamist terrorism.
