12-05-2025 15:00

Brazilian police stop a bomb attack at Lady Gaga’s concert. The concert is free. It happens on Copacabana Beach. More than two million people come to the concert.

The police say that the group wants to use small bombs. They want to get more likes on social media. They ask teenagers to help them. The police find the person who makes the plan. They also find a young person who wants to help.

The group says that they are Lady Gaga fans. They call themselves Little Monsters. The police work with the Justice Ministry. Luckily, they stop the group before anything happens.

Difficult words: free (when you don’t need to pay for something), bomb (something what can explode), luckily (when something good happens by chance, without a plan).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.

What did the group planning the bomb attack call themselves?
