Bomb attack on Concert Lady Gaga Vijdeld in Rio de Janeiro

The Brazilian police threw a bomb attack on Saturday at a Lady Gaga concert on the beach of Copacabana in Rio de Janeiro. This is reported Reuters Sunday based on information from the Brazilian police. The concert was free and raised more than two million fans. This made the performance of the 39-year-old American singer the biggest concert she ever gave. The municipality paid before her arrival.

The attack would have been planned by a group that encourages teenagers online to hate and radical behavior, such as making violent films and self -harm. The police of Rio de Janeiro announced this, who worked closely with the Brazilian Ministry of Justice when the attack was thwarted. The group is said to have tried to recruit a number of visitors to the concert online, including minors, to carry out a coordinated attack with ‘improvised explosives and Molotov cocktails.

The plans for the attack were on the radar of the Brazilian Ministry of Justice by a tip from the intelligence department of the police in Rio de Janeiro. They encountered online groups in which young people were encouraged in code language and with extremist symbols. A man and a teenager were arrested based on that tip. The man would be one of the leaders of the group and also the main responsible for the attack. He was arrested for owning a firearm. The teenager was caught possession of child pornography.
