Gunmen have attacked a convoy of trucks carrying uranium fuel to a nuclear power plant near the Brazilian city of Rio de Janeiro, police say.
The convoy came under attack as it drove past a community controlled by drug traffickers in Angra dos Reis, a tourist city 145km (90 miles) from Rio.
Police escorting the convoy responded and a shootout followed. No-one was injured or detained.
The convoy reached the Angra 2 plant safely 20 minutes after the attack.
The attack in the Rio-Santos highway is the latest in a series of violent incidents in an area popular with visitors.

In Brazil, all firearms are required to be registered with the minimum age for gun ownership being 25.[1] It is generally illegal to carry a gun outside a residence, and a special permit granting the right to do so is granted to certain groups, such as law enforcement officers.[2] To legally own a gun, an owner must hold a gun license, which costs R$1000,[2] and pay a fee every three years to register the gun, currently at R$85.[3] Registration can be done online or in person with the Federal Police.[4]

He ran one of the incredible campaigns. Somebody said it a little bit reminds people of our campaign, which I’m honored by. And, Jair is a big admirer of mine.
I'll tell you, I love this story, it shows how smart Jair really is. He knows that nuclear is one of the most important things to a country. Brazil, they have so much beautiful coal, it's great for Economy. But, nuclear is what brings true respect. MS-13 didn't show any respect. Or, any regard. But Jair protected his nuclear very strongly, very successfully -- Good Guys w/Guns. That's always the best way. As we've seen so many times. Very proud of Jair's Law Enforcement guys. And if they hadn't been around, I really believe I'd run in there even if I didn't have a weapon. Because I want Brazil to succeed. We need more countries like Brazil. The last thing we want in the United States is Socialism. But so many in our Democrat Party, sadly, have fallen in love with it. Used to be a great party, it's dieing -- and putting our Country in great danger. So foolish!!!!

Please, Donny, run in there. And, no, you won't need a weapon. May the Orange protect you!

It is only a compromise if they are also giving something up. What have they given up ?
