(Reuters) – An Austrian man suspected of having jihadi contacts was arrested on Friday in Vienna in a move the interior minister said prevented an imminent attack and police urged citizens to report any abandoned bags.
Special forces arrested the 18-year-old with a migrant background in a Vienna apartment at around 1700 GMT, police said.
“The decisive leads came from foreign intelligence services,” Interior Minister Wolfgang Sobotka told reporters.
