Arrests of alleged terrorists aligned with ISIS reportedly planning attacks against U.S, UK, French and Israeli athletes at the Rio Olympics.
"Brazil's federal police today arrested 10 people and smashed a network allied to ISIS that was preparing 'acts of terrorism' at next month's Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.
President Michel Temer has called an emergency cabinet meeting and Justice Minister Alexandre de Moraes said the operation spanned nine states across Brazil, although the arrests were made in the southern states of Sao Paulo and Parana.
A court in Parana said there were indications the group was planning to use weapons to launch attacks similar to the Paris atrocities in November last year.
Earlier this month Mr Moraes said a jihadist attack in Rio de Janeiro during the Olympics was a 'possibility' but 'not a probability'."

I'm very concerned about the Olympic Games as Brasil is having a severe economic crisis that is so bad they cannot afford toilet paper in police stations I just hope the athletes and spectators are kept safe and there are no attacks.
