Three teenagers were arrested, accused of plotting an attack which was allegedly inspired by the Islamic State group. Speaking at a news conference, an Austrian politician said that “a tragedy was prevented.”

In 1967, he was part of a group who decided to attract intergalactic tourists by building a giant alien landing pad.
They timed it to coincide with Canada's centennial celebrations.
And they are still ready to welcome any extraterrestrial visitors with "pierogis, some garlic sausage and pea soup."
