Brazil Supreme Court Bombing Investigated as Terrorism

Brazilian police are investigating a failed bomb attack on the Supreme Court as a 'terrorist act' potentially linked to a past insurrection against President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. The sole perpetrator, Francisco Wanderley Luiz, a former city council candidate from a right-wing party, died in the explosion he triggered while attempting to enter the court. The attack, which took place just days before the G20 summit and a state visit by Chinese President Xi Jinping, has raised significant security concerns. Authorities suspect the intended target was Justice Alexandre de Moraes, who is overseeing investigations into the 2023 coup attempt related to former President Jair Bolsonaro. Despite being a lone act, police warn of active extremist threats. The investigation continues to determine the exact motives and any potential accomplices behind the attack.
