Brazilian police thwarted a bomb attack planned for Lady Gagas historic concert that drew over two million people to Copacabana beach in Rio de Janeiro on Saturday. The plot was orchestrated by a group promoting hate speech and the radicalization of teenagers, including self-harm and violent content as a form of social belonging. "The suspects were recruiting participants, including minors, to carry out coordinated attacks using improvised explosives and Molotov cocktails," the police said in a statement. A man described as the group's leader was arrested for illegal possession of a firearm, while a teenager in Rio de Janeiro was detained for storing child pornography. Authorities carried out over a dozen search and seizure warrants across the states of Rio de Janeiro, Mato Grosso, Rio Grande do Sul, and Sao Paulo. |
