Dino, who will soon begin his position as part of President-elect Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva's government, is overseeing the operation and said on Twitter that Lula's transition team is following the incident."We are following developments on alleged explosive artifact found in Brasilia on Saturday morning. We will have official information soon," Dino said.
"Expert examinations of the artifact, as well as investigations, are being carried out by the Civil Police of the Federal District," he added.Reporting by Adriano Machado; Writing by Steven Grattan; Editing by Leslie Adler
