An Austrian court on Thursday sentenced a 21-year-old, who has pleaded guilty to plotting a foiled jihadist attack on a Taylor Swift concert, to 15 years in jail.

After deliberating for hours, the jury found Austrian Beran A. --- who has testified he had become convinced that he "had to wage jihad" -- guilty on all counts, including terror offences.
