His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, has expressed his deepest condolences to Austria's Chancellor following the Vienna terrorist attack.

Four people were killed by gunmen in the Austrian capital on Monday night.
