JAKARTA - The security of the inauguration of Luiz In handlacio da Silva, the president-elect of Brazil, will be reorganized and tightened, with vigilance against terror threats, said Brazil's upcoming Minister of Justice Flavio Dino.

Dino said protesters who rejected the election results camping outside the Brazilian military base had become "an incubator for terrorism."

He said that a day after police detonated the explosive device and arrested a suspect they accused him of being linked to Brasilia's camp.

"The serious incident yesterday in Brasilia proves that the so-called 'patriotic' camp has been an incubator for terrorists," Flavio Dino tweeted.

"There will be no amnesty for terrorists, supporters and their investors," he stressed.

Dino said the arrangement for the inauguration of Lula would be "re-evaluated, with the intention of tightening security."

It is known that supporters of President Jair Bolsonaro have been camping outside a military base in Brazil for weeks, urging the military to cancel the victory of Lula, who will take office from January 1.

In another tweet, Dino said he would propose establishing a "special group to fight terrorism and irresponsible weaponry. Legal rules are not in accordance with these political militias."

News of the bomb adds a new dimension to post-election violence in Brazil, where tensions remain high after the fiercest election in a generation.

The incumbent Bolsonaro, who has yet to admit defeat, has made baseless claims about the credibility of Brazil's voting system, with many fanatical supporters trusting him.

Meanwhile, the head of the Brazilian Election Court last month rejected complaints from Bolsonaro's allies challenging the results of the presidential election.

Separately, Brasilia Camp, outside the army headquarters, has become one of the most extreme in the country. On December 12, the day CLA's victory was passed, several camp residents attacked the headquarters of federal police in Brasilia.

Robson Coundido, chief of Civil Police in Brasilia, said a 54-year-old man from Para State had been arrested and claimed to have planted a bomb in a fuel truck near Brasilia airport to spread chaos.

"He came to participate in the protests, outside the army headquarters and he is part of the movement supporting the current president," Candido told reporters.

Coundido said the man and the people who helped him tried to activate the explosive device, but did not explode. He said it was still unclear how many others were involved.

"Mereka dalam misi itu, yang menurut mereka bersifat ideologis, tetapi telah lepas kendali," tegasnya.

Police also found assault rifles and other explosives in an apartment the man rented in Brasilia.

Cihndido said the suspect was the registered gun owner, known as the CAC, a group that had swelled sixfold to nearly 700,000 people since President Bolsonaro was elected in 2018 and began easing gun laws.
