Brazilian authorities successfully averted a bomb attack planned for Lady Gaga's concert in Rio de Janeiro, which drew approximately 2 million attendees. Collaborating with the Justice Ministry, the police targeted a group that aimed to incite violence against the LGBTQ community and recruit youth for attacks using explosives. Two arrests were made, including the group's leader and a teenager charged with child pornography. Police conducted raids on multiple locations and seized various electronic devices, highlighting the seriousness of the planned attack and the efforts to counteract such threats.
The plan was treated as a 'collective challenge' with the aim of gaining notoriety on social media.
Authorities said they arrested two people in connection with the planned attack - the alleged leader of the group on illegal weapons possession charges.
