RIO DE JANEIRO -- Police arrested the last suspect wanted so far in a case of Brazilian sympathizers of the Islamic State who allegedly discussed attacking the Olympic Games next month in Rio de Janeiro.The Federal Police said in a statement late Sunday that the man was caught in the city of Comodoro, in the central west region of Brazil.Authorities said he was taken to a federal prison but didnt reveal his name, citing security reasons. But family members confirmed the suspect was 32-year-old Leonid El Kadre de Melo, a mechanic from Mato Grosso state.The anti-terror case was announced Thursday when 10 Brazilians were arrested in different Brazilian states, increasing worries over security ahead of the Aug. 5-21 Summer Games. Another man turned himself in on Friday.Justice Minister Alexandre de Moraes said some of the men had pledged allegiance to IS without having any personal contact with members of the terrorist group abroad. The suspects didnt meet in person and communicated with each other via messaging apps WhatsApp and Telegram, he said.The suspects are being held on two terrorism-related charges for at least 30 days.The sister of the last suspect arrested, Zeina El Kadre de Melo, told The Associated Press that to her knowledge, her brother didnt use the popular apps because his cellphone was an old model with no internet connection. Both apps can also be used on PCs, but are more commonly used as mobile apps.Melo said her brother has been falsely accused because of his Arabic name, of Lebanese origin, and his religion. He converted to Islam while he served a prison term for robbery and murder between 2002 and 2006.They are judging him because he is Muslim, with an Arabic name, and has a criminal record, she said. But this is a tremendous surprise. Theres no way that is true.Moraes said the group would have little chance to mount an attack, describing the men as amateurs and ill-prepared. The closest the group got to planning an attack was an alleged attempt via email to buy an AK-47 assault rifle in a store in Paraguay, he said. But Moraes said police were justified in acting fast in light of lone wolf attacks in the U.S. and Europe.The Brazilians discussed using weapons and guerrilla tactics to potentially launch an attack during the Olympics, authorities said, but added that the men hadnt traveled to IS strongholds in Syria or Iraq or received any training. Police said they would not comment on the religious affiliations of the men.Federal judge Marcos Josegrei da Silva, who is overseeing the investigation, told the newspaper O Globo over the weekend that there could be more people involved with the group.Yeezy Boost 350 For Sale .

He tweaked it again on a swing in the series opener against the Twins and hit his wrist against the wall while going after Brian Doziers second homer of the game.Its difficult because I want to play, but the doctors said the best for me right now is just to take a rest for a couple of days because I have inflammation there, Cabrera said through a translator. But yeah, for me, I want to play. I dont like to be on the bench. I want to play because the team needs me and I need the team.Cabrera, who is batting .294 with eight homers and 39 RBI in 74 games, had an MRI on Wednesday. He signed a $42 million, three-year contract with Chicago in Decembber 2014.dddddddddddd.Manager Robin Ventura said he doesnt think Cabrera will need a trip to the disabled list.Its tough, he wants to be in there, he wants to play, he wants to fight through it, Ventura said. But the training staff, the medical staff thinks its better that he sits for three or four days to have that heal.Avisail Garcia got the start in left against the Twins on Wednesday night. While Cabrera could play the field and doesnt notice the injury when he hits from the right side, Ventura said they plan to stay away from him -- leaving the White Sox with just two position players on the bench.You dont like anytime you dont have Melky in there, Ventura said. Hes a switch hitter, middle of the lineup, it hurts to not have him in there. Were going to have to figure out a way to make up for that.---Jay Cohen can be reached at http://www.twitter.com/jcohenap ' ' '
