A possible attack on the annual LGBTQ+ Pride parade in Vienna, Austria, has been foiled hours before it was due to start, police have confirmed.
Three men with alleged links to the Islamic State terrorist group were arrested before the start of yesterday’s celebration, which was attended by around 300,000 people.
The suspects, aged 14, 17 and 20, are Austrian nationals of Bosnian and Chechen origin, Omar Haijawi-Pirchner from the State Protection and Intelligence Directorate said during a press conference today. They had allegedly become radicalized online and developed views sympathetic to ISIS, according to Mr Haijawi-Pirchner.Get in touch with our news team by emailing us at
