Police believe attackers targeted LGBTQ fans attending American star’s free concert on Rio’s Copacabana Beach.
Brazilian police arrested two individuals linked to a foiled bomb plot targeting a Lady Gaga concert in Rio de Janeiro, which attracted over two million attendees. The arrested, an adult and a teenager, intended to use improvised explosives to attack the LGBTQ community, motivated by hate, as stated by police. The concert proceeded without incident, with heightened security measures in place, and Lady Gaga’s team was unaware of the threat until after the event.
