4 Dead in Vienna Terrorist Attack by ISIS Sympathizer
(New York Times) Katrin Bennhold - An ISIS sympathizer wearing a fake explosive device opened fire on Monday night in the heart of Vienna, killing at least four people and wounding 14. Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz called the shooting "definitely an Islamist terrorist attack." Police killed the gunman, a 20-year-old Vienna-born man whose parents came from North Macedonia. The Austrian intelligence service said he was one of 90 Austrians who had planned to join the Islamic State in Syria, and had been sentenced last year to 22 months in prison for his attempt.
