Brazilian Gangs Wage War On Police. One of Brazil’s biggest gangs, the First Capital Command (of First Command of the Capital — PCC), took the fight to Sao Paulo’s government developing a wave of co-ordinated violence since Friday. The heavily armed gang staged 150 attacks on police stations that killed 74 (including at least 40 policemen) and 24 prison uprisings that are currently holding thousands of visitors hostage. Overnight, gangs torched buses, targeted banks and continued their attacks on police patrols and stations. So far, the government has only been able to contain six of the prison uprisings, but that more are occurring as fast as they put them down. The violence — apparently sparked in reaction to the transfer of 765 gang members from their current prisons to higher-security facilities — is an escalation of what many in Sao Paulo are calling a war between the state authorities and the First Command of the Capital (PCC) criminal faction (BBC video).

巴西最大的幫派 PCC（第一首都指令，Primeiro Comando da_Capital, PCC）對抗聖保羅市政府，從週五開始發動一連串策劃的暴力行動。強大火力的武裝幫派人士發動了 150 次的警察局攻擊，總共殺害了 74 人（包括至少 40 名警察）並發動 24 起監獄暴動，目前有數千名訪客被當作人質。整晚幫派群眾火燒公車、攻擊銀行與持續攻擊巡邏警員與警察局。截至目前為止，政府只控制住六起暴動，但是控制住的同時，更多的暴亂正同時在發生。這些暴力事件很明顯是因為政府決定將 765 名幫派份子從目前的監獄移轉到高度安全警戒的監獄，聖保羅最大的幫派 PCC 對此加以反擊。這一系列的暴力行動被認為升高了政府當局與 PCC 幫派的對峙情勢。（BBC 影片）
