They were not members of so-called Islamic State but had tried to make contact with the group, officials said. The justice minister said the group was in the planning stage of an attack and police acted as a preventative measure. Alexandre Moraes described the cell as "absolute amateurs" and "ill-prepared" to launch an attack. All those arrested were Brazilian and two more suspects were being sought, he said. They were detained across 10 different states, and had been in contact via messaging services such as Whatsapp. Group members had attempted to contact a weapons supplier in neighbouring Paraguay to get AK 47 assault rifles, but there was no evidence of any being bought.

Usain Bolt poses for photographers ahead of a press conference in London on July 21, 2016, ahead of the Anniversary Games athletics meet in London.  LONDON, United Kingdom (AFP) – Sprint king Usain Bolt believes the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) ruling on Russia's drug cheats will scare athletes and send a strong message that doping won't be tolerated. CAS on Thursday rejected an appeal by 67 Russian athletes seeking to overturn an IAAF doping ban on them competing at the Rio Olympics. A decision on banning Russia from the Rio Games, which start on August 5, could come this weekend and Jamaican star Bolt, a six-time Olympic champion, has no doubt a strong stance is the right response as athletics tries to clean up its act. "This will scare a lot of people, or send a strong message that the sport is serious about cleaning up," Bolt told reporters in London on Thursday. "It's sad, but rules are rules. I don't make the rule

Keep a live chicken under your bed - and sleep soundly.  You may want to take that tip after a joint study  by Ethiopian and Swedish scientists found that malaria-carrying mosquitoes avoid homes that contain live chickens. The research team working in Ethiopia found that the smell of the chickens created a poultry "odour bubble" which deterred the mosquito from going anywhere near the source of the smell.  The team also found that mosquitoes strongly preferred human to animal blood and while they fed randomly on cattle, goats and sheep, they steered clear of chickens. The researchers said the discovery could be useful in areas where malaria was endemic and the insects were becoming resistant to pesticides.   They have now isolated the chemical compounds and are planning to develop a repellent.   Swedish researcher Rickard Ignell said: We were surprised to find that malaria mosquitoes are repelled by the odours emitted by chickens. This study show

Image copyright "Put your money where your hate is." This is the phrase being used by a crowdfunding campaign, currently going viral, which is being seen as a unique response to racism. The campaign seems to take racists at face value, and asks for donations in order for its black founder to be able to go "back to Africa." Larry Mitchell, an African-American man from Kokomo, Indiana, started the clearly ironic  GoFundMe petition , and has had his page shared more than 30,000 times on various social media platforms. In the blurb for the petition Mitchell wrote: "If you want me to go back to Africa I will gladly go… you can help make your dream and mine come true… accepting all donations. KKK, Skin Heads and anyone else with like mind thinking are welcome to donate… Thank you.. God bless you and America… #putyourmoneywhereyourhateis."
