Berlin court convicts Syrian youth over Taylor Swift bomb plot

BERLIN: A Berlin court on Tuesday convicted a Syrian teenager of contributing to a Daesh-inspired plot to attack a Taylor Swift concert in Vienna. Three dates in the US pop megastar’s record-breaking “Eras” tour were canceled last summer after authorities warned of the plot. The 16-year-old defendant, named by prosecutors as Mohammad A., was found guilty of “preparing a serious act of violence endangering the state” and “supporting a terrorist act abroad,” the court said in a statement. He was given an 18-month suspended sentence.
