Chilling New Details Emerge About Lady Gaga Bombing Plot
New details are slowly coming to light about the disturbing plot to bomb Lady Gaga's concert in Rio de Janeiro earlier this month. In addition to a third suspect being arrested for the thwarted terrorist attack, further information about the suspects' motives have seemingly been confirmed. On May 3, the award-winning pop singer hosted an open concert on Copacabana Beach in the popular Brazilian city. In Gaga's first concert in the country since 2012, over 2 million people turned out to see Gaga perform in person. At the same time Gaga took to the stage in front of the jam-packed crowd, Brazilian authorities arrested two individuals suspected of planning an attack on the concert. According to CNN, police specifically said that the suspects were targeting members of the LGBTQ+ community -- a group Gaga has long provided her vocal support for. More recently, CNN has also reported that a third suspect has been apprehended by police in connection with the planned attack. Previously, a man and a teenager had been arrested hours before the concert was scheduled to take place. The man is currently charged with illegal weapons possession, while the teenager has reportedly facing charges stemming from child sex abuse material. Most disturbingly, Brazilian authorities said that this third suspect had planned to specifically murder at least one child during the course of Gaga's concert. The murder would have been part of a "Satanist ritual," with the suspect describing Gaga as a Satanist and stating he wanted to "respond in the same way." Brazilian authorities have said that the suspects in custody were part of an online hate group aiming to radicalize young people, as well as promoting "the dissemination of hate crimes, self-harm, pedophilia and violent content." A spokesperson for Lady Gaga said neither the singer nor her associates were aware of any safety concerns going into the concert. "Prior to and during the show, there were no known safety concerns, nor any communication from the police or authorities to Lady Gaga regarding any potential risks," the spokesperson told CNN. "Her team worked closely with law enforcement throughout the planning and execution of the concert and all parties were confident in the safety measures in place."

Foiled Brazilian terrorist plot against Lady Gaga gets sinister ‘satanist' twist
New information has come to light over the foiled terrorist attack at Lady Gaga's free Copacabana Beach concert last Saturday in Brazil. One of the suspects has revealed their motives for targeting the celebrated artist's biggest show of her career, dubbed 'Mayhem On The Beach'. A crowd of an estimated 2.5 million people gathered on the beach near the Belmond Copacabana Palace Hotel for Gaga's first Brazilian show since 2012. On Sunday (4 May), the Civil Police of Rio De Janeiro State said that they managed to thwart the bomb attack on the show and had arrested two people after the suspects had allegedly 'recruited individuals, including minors, to carry out co-ordinated attacks using improvised explosives and Molotov cocktails'. The police operation, dubbed "Operation Fake Monster", was based on a tip from Rio De Janeiro's state police intelligence. Felipe Cury, secretary of the Rio police, said authorities believed the suspects sought to target Brazil's LGBTQ community.
