Federal police in Brazil have arrested 10 members of a group alleged to be preparing acts of terrorism during the Olympic Games. The authorities said they were not members of so-called Islamic State but had tried to make contact with the group. The arrests were made in the southern state of Parana. They come just over two weeks before the Olympic Games get under way in Rio de Janeiro. Justice Minister Alexandre Moraes told a news conference that all those arrested were Brazilian. Two more suspects were being sought. A court in the southern state of Parana said there were indications that the group was planning to use weapons and guerrilla tactics to achieve its aim, Reuters news agency reported.
