# Residents of a slum in Rio de Janeiro lined up more than 40 bodies at a plaza in their low-income neighborhood after the bloodiest police operation in the city’s history. There was no official confirmation yet about whether they were among the 60 suspected members of a drug gang who were killed during Tuesday’s massive counter-narcotics operation in two slums in northern Rio. Four police officers were also killed during the operation, which involved two-thousand-500 officers. It targeted the Comando Vermelho, Rio’s main criminal organisation.
