The Brazilian police arrested on Sunday another man suspected of links to Hezbollah, bringing the number of detainees suspected of involvement with the group to three, two sources with knowledge of the matter told Reuters on condition of anonymity.
The name of the detainee, arrested in Brazil’s capital Brasilia, was not revealed, but his alleged link to the Iranian-backed group was already under investigation, sources said.
Last week, Brazil arrested two people in Sao Paulo in an operation to break up a suspected Hezbollah cell allegedly planning attacks on Jewish targets in the South American nation.
