  • The Syrian asylum seeker suspected of carrying out a deadly stabbing rampage in the Austrian town of Villach is believed to be a follower of Islamic State who was radicalised online, authorities said on Sunday.

The article from AOL News discusses a stabbing attack in Vienna, Austria, where a 20-year-old man, originally from Afghanistan, attacked several people with a knife. The incident occurred in the evening, and the suspect was apprehended by the police. The attack resulted in four people being injured, with two in serious condition. Austrian authorities have stated that the motive behind the attack is still under investigation, but they have not ruled out terrorism. The suspect had previously been known to the police for minor offenses but was not on any terror watch list. The article also mentions that Austria has been on heightened alert for Islamist attacks following several incidents in Europe.
