Two Arrested in Connection with Planned Bombing at Lady Gaga’s Rio Concert
Brazilian police arrested two individuals after uncovering a planned bombing targeting LGBTQ+ attendees at Lady Gaga’s concert in Rio de Janeiro, which attracted over two million people at Copacabana Beach. The attack, allegedly plotted by a hate group focused on radicalizing teenagers, was kept under wraps during the event to prevent panic. With over 5,000 security personnel deployed, the concert proceeded safely while Lady Gaga’s team, unaware of the threat until media reports surfaced, stated that they had coordinated with authorities throughout the event and were assured of the concert’s security.
