Defendants in Thwarted Terror Plot Confess and Detail Ideology

A second defendant, Beran A., involved in a thwarted plot to attack a Taylor Swift concert, has largely confessed in court, stating that "Anyone who does not submit to IS must be fought." He and Arda K. are accused of being part of an IS terror cell and inciting a third man to a terror act in Mecca, though Arda K. denies involvement in the Mecca attack.
