Nia Mack Period 2 http://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-39813733 May 4, 2017 Brazil jailed eight men for planning attacks on the 2016 Olympics and for using the internet to promote ISIS. The men were arrested in August shortly after the games ended and after the FBI alerted Brazilian authorities. The ring leader, Leonid El Kadre de Melo, has been given a prison sentence of 15 years. The other men have been jailed for five to six years. The group had been sharing "bomb-making videos" online and via messaging apps. The men were not part of ISIS but tried to contact the group. Originally, 15 people were arrested. Seven suspects were later released, but the other eight were tried under Brazil's new anti-terrorism legislation. The six men jailed for six years are Alisson Luan de Oliveira, Oziris Moris Azevedo, Levi Ribeiro de Jesus, Israel Pe dra Mesquita, Hortencio Yoshitake, and Luis Gustavo de Oliveira.
