Austrian official: suspect potentially dangerous radical

VIENNA -- Austria's interior minister says authorities are treating a recently arrested teenager as a potentially dangerous radical with connections to the Islamic State group.

 

Wolfgang Sobotka says the 17-year-old male has told police that he supports the Islamic State group. Sobotka says the suspect had a "real communications network" and is someone with "weight" in radical circles.

 

A SWAT team made the arrest in a Vienna apartment Friday on what police say was a tip from a "foreign intelligence service."
