Two explosions occurred at the Federal Supreme Court in Brasilia, Brazil, killing one person. The deceased has been identified as Francisco Wanderley Luiz, a former municipal council candidate for ex-president Jair Bolsonaro's Liberal Party. According to the governor of Brasilia, Luiz had tried to enter the court but was unable to do so when the explosion occurred at the entrance. Officials found a timer and explosives on Luiz's body.
