“Terrorist attack on synagogue planned: suspect (16) in custody in Steyr,” translated from “Terror-Anschlag auf Synagoge geplant: Verdächtiger (16) in Steyr in Haft,” Exxpress, December 11, 2023 (thanks to Medforth):
A possible Islamist attack on a synagogue was prevented in Upper Austria. The suspect: A young person (16) with a Turkish background from near Steyr. Interior Minister Gerhard Karner (ÖVP) announced this.
Several house searches were carried out in Upper Austria after the teenager apparently revealed his dangerous plans in chats. From October 2023, he is said to have made concrete preparations to target a synagogue in Vienna or possibly even abroad. According to DSN director and project manager Omar Haijawi-Pirchner, he is said to have already had the necessary financial means to purchase the weapon.
The arrest took place last Thursday. The teenager is currently in custody. During the searches, the police seized a large number of data carriers, including the teenager’s cell phone, which contained shocking material – bloody and brutal videos attributed to IS. The suspect had already looked into various crime scene options and implementation variants. The teenager was transferred to the Linz prison. Interrogations are expected to take place in the coming days. Further investigations are underway, it said.
