Austrian police commandos have arrested a suspected neo-Nazi who allegedly threatened to massacre asylum-seekers, recovering several weapons and ammunition at his home, police said Sunday, according to AFP.

The 20-year-old "repeatedly told friends that he wanted to 'shoot dead all asylum-seekers with his shotgun' at a refugee center", police in Upper Austria state said in a statement.

The man also used neo-Nazi language and sent a friend two text messages that included "National Socialist ideology," police said.
