RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Brazilian officials say they will review security preparations for the upcoming Olympics after a devastating attack in Nice, France and will probably increase the number of police checkpoints during the Aug. 5-21 games.
Defense Minister Raul Jungmann told CBN radio in a Friday interview that safety protocols would be revised in the wake of Thursday's attack in Nice killing scores of people. He regretted the restriction of movement that would be caused by the possible increase of security checkpoints throughout the Olympics host city. He did say what other measures could be taken.
