Brazilian police arrested two people over an alleged bomb plot targeting Lady Gaga’s free concert in Rio de Janeiro, attended by over 2.1 million fans. Authorities say the suspects planned to attack the LGBTQ community using homemade explosives during the show, which went ahead without incident. The suspects spread hate online and posed as fans to lure youth into violent networks. Raids were conducted across multiple states, but no explosives were found. Lady Gaga and her team were unaware of the threat until after the event, though tight security was in place. Officials cited religious and extremist motives behind the plot. (PC: The Guardian)
