On Wednesday, a 17-year-old and a 19-year-old were arrested by Austrian security authorities for having planned terrorist attacks against the concerts. A 15-year-old has also been arrested. The main suspect in the case has, according to the police in the country, confessed. The security authorities say that there are no more suspects in the case.
