According to Brazilian authorities, a plot to bomb a Lady Gaga concert in Brazil on Saturday night was foiled. A person in connection to the plot is now in custody. A hate group, posing as “Little Monsters” fans, planned to attack with IEDs and Molotov cocktails, according to reports.
The organizers attempted to recruit young Brazilians to coordinate the bombings.
The concert, held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on Copacabana Beach, drew a record-breaking crowd of 2.5 million people according to Variety.
City Hall put on the free concert in an effort to boost local economic activity.

The New York Post reports:
The recruiters falsely identified themselves as members of Gaga’s global fan base, known as “Little Monsters,” as a way to lure fans into “networks with violent and self-destructive content,” the Brazilian Justice Ministry said.
Rio state police intelligence uncovered digital networks that encouraged violent behavior used coded language and extremist symbols to communicate their vile message, authorities said.
