His neighbours in Ternitz, a small town some 50 miles southwest of Vienna, were stunned by the accusations leveled against him, although several said that he had grown a long beard and become more serious in the run-up to the foiled plot. “He stopped greeting me,” she said, expressing sorrow for the parents of the young man, who lived with him in a bright, freshly painted terraced house at the end of the street.

“You always hear about these sort of things, but it’s something else when this happens on your own front door,” said Christian Samwald, the mayor of Ternitz, a town of around 15,000 people nestled among lush fields of sunflowers in a river valley enclosed by the green mountainsides of the Gutenstein Alps.

The company identified by residents as his employer did not answer calls or respond to a written request for comment.Dozens of residents were temporarily ejected from their homes on Wednesday morning so that armed, masked police could raid the suspect’s house, seizing chemicals, machetes and devices the plotters planned to use in the attack.

Residents said the parents had returned after the raid and they were believed to be inside the little two storey house as a raft of accusations was read out against their son in Vienna.
