Foiled attack on Lady Gaga concert

Gradually, more details are becoming known about the foiled attack on Sunday at the Lady Gaga concert on Copacabana beach.

The concert was able to proceed on Sunday and no less than 2 million people danced and sang on the world-famous beach to the beats of Gaga. However, this took quite some doing as the police discovered that there were terror plans.

The police discovered in time that there were plans for an attack on the concert of the American superstar. Two suspects were detained, and the police are still searching for more people.

The duo allegedly recruited people, including minors, to carry out 'coordinated attacks with improvised explosives and Molotov cocktails'. According to the Brazilian police, visitors from the lgbtq+ community were the target of the attacks. The police have issued arrest warrants for nine more individuals.
