Islamic State and al-Qaida material was found at the home of the second suspect, a 17-year-old Austrian.

Adding to the alarm, this individual had recently secured employment at the concert venue, increasing their potential access to the crowd. The suspect was apprehended by specialized police units near the stadium, underscoring the imminent nature of the threat.

A 15-year-old with connections to both suspects is also under police scrutiny. The individual was employed at the concert venue, raising further concerns about the potential scope of the plot.
