Natal. In the face of a wave of armed attacks, the Brazilian government has ordered the national guard to the northeast of the South American country. “A first part is already in Natal. Another part will arrive this morning,” wrote Justice Minister Flávio Dino on the short message service Twitter on Wednesday night (local time). 220 members of the National Guard should therefore support the security forces of the state of Rio Grande do Norte. The aim of the armed attacks were according to the news portal G 1 public buildings and shops. (dpa/jW)
