More Arrests Made in Vienna Terror Attack as Authorities Admit Errors

Jamie Dettmer

   The Islamist militant who killed four people and wounded more than a
   dozen during a shooting rampage Monday in Vienna had told officials he
   had been deradicalized, which helped secure him an early release from
   prison and lighter surveillance.

   Fejzulai Kujtim had been jailed for trying to travel to Syria to join
   Islamic State, but he served less than half of his 22-month sentence
   after agreeing to participate in a deradicalization program. He was
   shot and killed by police after the attack.

   He "deceived" authorities and masked his real aims, said Austrian
   Interior Minister Karl Nehammer.
