Brazil Police Investigate Failed Bomb Attack on Supreme Court
A failed attack on Brazil’s Supreme Court on November 13 left one man dead after he attempted to enter the building while carrying explosives. The alleged assailant, identified as a former municipal council candidate linked to far-right politics, reportedly detonated a vehicle bomb before approaching the court. Authorities described the incident as a potential suicide attack by a ‘lone wolf.’ This incident raises concerns reminiscent of the January 2023 far-right riots against Brazilian democratic institutions, occurring just days before a G20 summit in Rio de Janeiro.
