Police in Brazil said they stopped a bomb attack at Lady Gaga’s concert in Rio de Janeiro. The concert was free and took place on Copacabana Beach. Around 2 million people came to see the show.
The police said the people behind the plan wanted to get attention on social media. They also said that the group asked teenagers to help with the attack. The group wanted to use homemade bombs. Police arrested the person who made the plan.
The police worked with the Justice Ministry to stop the attack. The group said they were fans of Lady Gaga. They called themselves the Little Monsters. Police said the group also shared hate messages and dangerous ideas online.
Difficult words: attention (when people look at or focus on someone or something), homemade (when you make something at home, not buy it in a shop), arrest (to take someone by the police).
You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
