These concerts have already been targeted by terrorists
Two suspected supporters of the Islamic State (IS) are said to have planned an attack on the upcoming Taylor Swift concerts in Vienna. The organizer cancelled the shows on Wednesday evening. Concerts have repeatedly been targeted by terrorists in recent years.
These include the well-known attack by Hamas and other terrorist organizations on Israel on 7 October 2023 and a suicide bombing at a concert by singer Ariana Grande. Here is an overview:
