Brasília: Brazilian police are investigating a possible bomb placed in a backpack thrown outside the Supreme Court, the country's highest tribunal reported Thursday, three days before presidential elections begin.
The suspect, who was arrested, "tried to jump the court's fences" and "threw a backpack on top of a bus stop," the court said in a statement.
