Authorities have revealed that Beran Aliji, the man arrested for plotting a terror attack at a Taylor Swift concert, initially had the Israeli embassy in Vienna as his primary target. Reports from The Washington Post indicate that Aliji also considered other targets, including a Shiite mosque and Kurdish diplomats.

Investigators disclosed that Aliji’s plans were heavily influenced by Islamic State propaganda, combined with a prolonged period of depression and a preoccupation with his own death. His scheme involved detonating homemade explosives among the tens of thousands of fans expected to queue outside the concert venue.

A raid of Aliji’s residence uncovered refined chemicals and bomb-making equipment, confirming the severity of the threat. Authorities have praised the swift action that thwarted a potentially devastating attack.
