Brazil's Supreme Court Explosion Deemed Terrorist Act

News summary

Francisco Wanderley Luiz, a former city council candidate from Brazil's Liberal Party, was killed in explosions outside Brazil's Supreme Court in Brasília on Wednesday night. The event, occurring just days before the G20 summit and a state visit by Chinese leader Xi Jinping, is being treated as a terrorist act by authorities. Luiz detonated a device in a car parked at Congress and then attempted to enter the Supreme Court, resulting in two explosions that caused his death. No other injuries were reported, and the blasts prompted the evacuation of justices and staff from the building. Investigations are ongoing to determine Luiz's motive, though it is considered a possible 'lone wolf' suicide attack. The incidents have heightened security concerns in the capital as authorities continue to investigate the full details of the event.
