The bomb hit incediaria a member of the security of the consulate, who raced with his clothes on fire.
After the attack, the military police responded with tear gas and sound effects to disperse the crowd. Until the confusion started, the protesters were peacefully escorted by the PM, who led them into the middle lane Avenida Rio Branco.
Scheduled to start at 16h, the expression of anti-American movement against the president’s visit to Brazil will Barack Obama raised his tracks at 17:50. The reason for the delay was the disagreement between the movements of the slogans to be included in the demonstration.

”Who will die in Libya is not the Gaddafi, but the workers in that country, which will become one under the control of the U.S.,” says the civil servant Gualberto Tinoco, coordinator of the Central Trade Union and Popular (CSP), which is also against sending peacekeeping troops to Haiti in Brazil, against the trade agreements between Brazil and the USA and against Obama’s visit.
Another protester, Wagner Vasconcelos, head of the Movement for the Wealth of Culture and Language in Brazil, was planning a violent protest if Obama from speaking to the public. “We would put on old shoes and when we came to Obama, would throw his shoes in it, all at the same time,” he said.”
Who has the shoes with the U.S. flag was brought by the protesters. After the spray-painted with “Go home”, in Portuguese, “Go home,” the protesters threw shoes at the flag, in allusion to the case of 2008, an Iraqi journalist who threw shoes at the then U.S. president George W. Bush.
The stalemate on the slogans was resolved before the following resolution: every one yells what you want. But then another question arose preventing the march. Major Fabio Alessandro, 13th Military Police Battalion (MP), brought the news that the PM would prevent walking the streets. The protesters, if they so wished, could follow the sidewalks only, without disrupting traffic.

“Rio Mayor makes irony with Osama bin Laden lookalike and causes discomfort” Jorno do BrasilIn Rio, before making the speech, Obama will visit Christ the Redeemer with his wife, Michelle, and daughters Malia, 10, and Sasha, 7. The family also wants to go to the City of God, in the West. The community has inspired a book and a movie of the same name that contain the spread of organized crime in Rio. Apparently there is no City of Allah in Rio?
NEW YORK – The mayor of Rio, Eduardo Paes, caused a diplomatic embarrassment for the inauguration of the works of Transcarioca in the neighborhood of Camp in the north.
Noticing the presence of a lookalike of Osama bin Laden, the number one enemy of the United States, Pace called the man on stage and posed for photos beside her.
”I’ll take this guy to get Obama,” joked Paes, to laughter from the residents.
The U.S. Embassy and Itamaray remained silent on the subject.
Bin Laden led the Sept. 11 attacks on the U.S., when airliners were sequestrados by terrorists and thrown over the towers of the World Trade Center in New York. Another plane reached the Pentagon and another crashed before reaching the target, thanks to the reaction of passengers. The attack is considered the worst terrorist attack in U.S. history, killing thousands.”
