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]

"Brazil and the United States stand side-by-side in their efforts to ensure liberty and respect for traditional family lifestyles with respect to God." President Bolsonaro.
They're having big problems with the Carnival and with many things. Jair is very concerned. Very concerned. And I think he's going to make some strong moves on that. By the way, did you see his Tweet? Something that, if you're at work maybe you don't want to look at it. But it shows you what goes on. And it's very sad. pic.twitter.com/u0qbPu9sie [t.co]

Maybe try linking to the video/image directly since it appears to require you to be friended (which you Mr. Trump obviously are.)
