<p>BERLIN (AP) — German prosecutors on Friday announced charges against a suspect accused of supporting a foiled plot last year to attack Taylor Swift concerts in neighboring Austria.</p>
<p>Three Swift concerts in Vienna were canceled in early August when the plot was discovered, and Austrian authorities made three arrests.</p>
<p>The indictment in Germany against a young Syrian national, identified only as Mohammad A. in line with German privacy rules, was filed at a Berlin court earlier this month. Federal prosecutors said in a statement that he is accused of supporting a foreign terrorist organization and preparing a serious act of violence.</p>
<p>Prosecutors said that the suspect supported the ideology of the Islamic State group and that, between mid-July and August last year, he was in contact with a young man in Austria who planned to attack a Taylor Swift concert in Vienna.</p>
<p>He allegedly helped by translating bomb-building instructions from Arabic and organizing online contact with an IS member abroad, among other things.</p>
<p>The suspect also allegedly gave his acquaintance in Austria the text for an oath of allegiance to IS, which the latter used to join the group.</p>
<p>He is not in custody, prosecutors said. The court must now decide whether to bring the case to trial and when.</p>
