Attack foiled at Austria embassy

A Bosnian who tried to enter the U.S. Embassy in Vienna with a backpack filled with explosives, nails and Islamic literature was arrested after the bag set off a metal detector and the man fled on foot, officials said. The suspect was described as a 42-year-old native of Bosnia-Herzegovina who lives in Lower Austria, the province that encircles much of the capital. Police made the arrest a short distance from the embassy building, in a neighborhood where security is tight.
