Brazilian Cities Plagued by Third Night of Gang Terror.

Gangs in several cities in north east Brazil have caused unrest for the third night, setting buses ablaze and carrying out gun attacks on buildings in urban areas in Rio Grande do Norte state. The attacks were sparked by conditions in jails holding gang members, after their requests for televisions, electricity and conjugal visits were turned down. Brazil's government has sent hundreds of federal security forces to the region and more could be sent in the coming days as unrest continues. Several cities have suspended public transport and closed schools in the wake of the violence.
