RIO DE JANEIRO: Residents of a favela in Rio de Janeiro lined up more than 40 bodies at a plaza in their low-income neighborhood on Wednesday, a day after the bloodiest police operation in the city’s history, AFP reported. The corpses were placed near one of the main roads in the Penha Complex. But there was no official confirmation yet about whether they were among the 60 suspected members of a drug gang who were killed during Tuesday’s massive counter-narcotics operation in two favelas in northern Rio. Four police officers were also slain during the operation, which involved 2,500 officers.
