Brazil police confiscate guns from Iraqis at summit
BRASILIA, Brazil (Reuters) - Brazilian police confiscated four pistols from an Iraqi security team on Monday when they arrived in Brasilia for the South American-Arab summit.
A federal police spokesman said the security agents did not have permission from Brazilian authorities to carry the Glock 9 mm guns. The agents were accompanying
Iraq's new president, Jalal Talabani, who is making his first trip abroad to attend the summit of 12 South American and 22 Arab leaders.
The Iraqis will ask the Foreign Ministry for the return of the guns, the spokesman added.
Thousands of troops are guarding the streets of the Brazilian capital in the biggest show of armed force since the end of military rule in 1985.
Security chief General Jorge Armando Felix said the Iraqi and Palestinian delegations would however receive special treatment because of the possibility of an attack against them.
"Terrorism is part of our worry. For our security plan, we are working on the possibility of this type of action," he said.

The Brazilian Police did what should be done. The Iraqi security team didn’t need these guns in Brazil, there is no purpose for use these here. But, I think that the Brazilian Police should return the guns, is better don’t create new problems, new enemies.
