Dynamite bananas found behind Brazilian bars


A police investigation was under way on Wednesday after bananas filled with dynamite were found in a routine check of a Brazilian high-security prison.

Police believe the bananas, each filled with 200 grams of explosives, were going to be used in an escape attempt. The stash was found on Tuesday evening in a sewage pipe in the Bangu prison yard.
