Authorities in Austria arrested two individuals in a refugee camp over the weekend. They had travelled to Europe from the Middle East. According to Austria’s largest newspaper, the suspects are French.

The suspects used forged Syrian passports to enter Europe and they were allegedly planning another attack when they were detained. The suspects met with the Paris attackers in Austria. Intelligence gathered by foreign intelligence services and passed on to Austrian authorities led to the arrest of the two suspects.

The two suspects are of Algerian and Pakistani origin. They were found in Salzburg, a large city near the German border.

On Nov. 13, Islamic State terrorists attacked the city of Paris and killed 134 people in a series of coordinated attacks. The Paris attacks were the worst loss of life on French soil since WWII.

The two suspects apparently bragged to fellow refugees and aid workers that they were members of Islamic State. Christian Pilnacek of the Austrian Ministry of Justice stated, “Refugees shouldn’t come under general suspicion – that would not be appropriate.” Two weeks ago, two other individuals staying at the same refugee camp were arrested for suspected ISIS ties.
