RIO DE JANEIRO, April 7, 2006 (UPI) -- Brazilian police Friday discovered an American-made missile in one of the city's most notorious "favelas," or slums, O Globo reported.
Police entering the Cidade de Deus (City of God) favelas were able to confiscate the weapon -- along with drugs and a homemade bomb -- after receiving a tip.
The make of the missile was not determined by authorities. It was said to be about 18 inches long.
The missile was supposedly going to be used in a revenge attack against a nearby police station, following the Wednesday deaths of three drug traffickers at the hands of police, O Globo said.
