IN BRIEF / BRAZIL
Man Sledgehammers Grenade, Dies in Blast
From Times Wire Reports
August 9, 2006

A man was killed in a workshop on the outskirts of Rio de Janeiro when he tried to open what police believe was a rocket-propelled grenade with a sledgehammer.

The workshop was destroyed and several cars parked outside caught fire. Another man who was in the shop was taken to a hospital with severe burns, an officer said.

Police found several unexploded army-issue rocket-propelled grenades in the workshop. They believe the ammunition had been brought there by scavengers wanting to sell it as scrap metal.
