Under heavy gunfire police smash their way into shanty town to take on drug traffickers
Amid heavy gunfire hundreds of police and soldiers have started invading a shantytown complex long held by drug traffickers.
Black-clad police officers from elite units began entering the Alemao slum complex today, with TV images showing police helicopters flying low to support the men on the ground as hundreds of drug gang members tried to hold their position.
The face-off comes after a week of widespread violence in Rio, with more than 100 cars and buses set on fire and at least 35 deaths, mostly of suspected traffickers.
What do you think should be done now?
