Brazilian police arrested 10 people who allegedly pledged allegiance to the Islamic State group on social media and discussed possible attacks during the Rio de Janeiro Olympics.

Justice Minister Alexandre de Moraes said that 10 suspects had been detained and two more were being sought. All are Brazilian, and one is a minor.

Police acted because the group discussed using weapons and guerrilla tactics to potentially launch an attack during the Olympics, which begin Aug. 5, Moraes said.
