The attacker in Vienna, who was shot by the police, was a supporter of the Islamic State terrorist organization (IS), Austrian Interior Minister Karl Nehammer said Tuesday.
“The criminal was a sympathiser of the IS terrorist group,” Nehammer told a press conference.
The minister urged Vienna residents to stay home as much as possible, following Monday’s attack on the Austrian capital.
Three were dead in the attack, President of the Viennese police Gerhard Puerstl said.
