DW: Austria: Two arrested after Chechen dissident shot dead
Austria's counter-terrorism unit is probing the murder of an ethnic Chechen man near the city of Vienna. Speculation is growing that the killing was a political assassination connected to Ramzan Kadyrov's region.
Austrian counter-terrorism authorities have begun an investigation after a 43-year-old man believed to be an ethnic Chechen was shot dead near the capital Vienna, police officials said Sunday.
The attack took place Saturday evening in Gerasdorf near Vienna in the driveway of a construction company.
Austrian police say they have detained a 47-year-old Russian man following a car chase in the city of Linz, about 180 kilometers east of the capital.
A second man, who had initially been considered a witness, was arrested later on Sunday and taken in investigative custody, a court spokesman said.
"The circumstances of the crime are unclear," police said but added that Austria's State Office for the Protection of the Constitution and Counter-Terrorism is now handling the investigation.
