Just heard the news on TV. I'm looking for links on the net right now. The brazilian Federal Police just arrested a group of Tanzanian muslims who (the police says) were intent on bombing American Embassies and other targets in Brazil.
I'll post again as soon as I get a link in english.
(Sheesh...even here!?)

Strange...could not find anything! Not even in portuguese! But I watched the news right now! They had even live footage. Strange... Posted by Eduardo_Sauron (Member # 5827) on :
Reading this and other news (search Tanzanians+Arrested+Brazil) it does not sound as dramatic as the TV. Sheesh...that's why I don't watch much tv news, these days.

Unless the government yanked coverage because it might compromise an ongoing investigation.
Hardly an uncommon phenomenon.

Well...it's possible, but I don't know... press, sometimes, smell (and smear) blood in everything. Misery sells.

"If it bleeds, it leads."
However, it wouldn't be the first time a press agent managed to report a story in such detail that it might make investigators concerned their ability to conduct an investigation might be hampered.
A big enough story, enforcement agencies might request it not be reported or aired in great detail, but they have no power to actually yank a story - insofar as I am aware, however.
Just an idle thought and not necessarily true.
