Clashes Rage in Rio as Police Try to Capture Drug Trafficker


The officers said the parts washed up from the sea, but offered no further details. Police attempts to recapture a drug trafficker who escaped from a Brazilian hospital have led to more than a week of deadly gunbattles in the slums of Rio de Janeiro, which is hosting the Olympics in August. The raid to free the 28-year-old suspect left a patient dead and a nurse and an off-duty policeman wounded. Other violence is also causing worries about safety during the Olympics. ———Associated Press writer Mauricio Savarese and AP videojournalist Renata Brito contributed to this report.
