Austrian authorities have dismantled a terrorist network involved in raising funds for the Islamic State (IS) organization and arrested nine suspects, the country's interior ministry said on Saturday.
Austrian security forces conducted house searches in five federal states on Thursday, seizing mobile phones, laptops, data storage devices, a significant amount of cash, and a vehicle, according to the ministry.
All nine suspects, aged between 23 and 36, are of Chechen descent. The ministry noted that the suspects, all long-time IS supporters, have cooperated with IS sympathizers in Germany and other European countries
