The suspects were not named.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Israeli prime minister\u2019s office said in a post on its website that spy agency Mossad was involved in thwarting an alleged plot in the South American nation and named Iran-backed Lebanese paramilitary group Hizbollah as behind it.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Brazilian security services, together with the Mossad and its partners in the Israeli security community, alongside additional international security and enforcement agencies, have foiled a terrorist attack in Brazil, which had been planned by the Hizbollah terrorist organization, directed and financed by the Iranian regime,\u201d the statement said. <\/p>\n<p>Mossad thanked Brazil\u2019s law enforcement for arresting what it called a \u201cterrorist cell that was operated by Hizbollah in order to carry out an attack on Israeli and Jewish targets in Brazil\u201d, in the statement from the prime minister\u2019s office. <\/p>\n<p>Brazilian authorities declined to comment on the alleged Hizbollah connection or the intended targets. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe recruiters and those recruited must respond to the crimes of forming or joining a terrorist organisation and carrying out preparatory acts of terrorism, whose maximum penalties, if added together, reach 15 years and 6 months in prison,\u201d the federal police said.<\/p>\n<p>Security and intelligence agencies in a number of countries have been on alert to the threat of potential terror attacks following the outbreak of war last month between Israel and Hamas militants based in the Gaza strip.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Brazil is home to Latin America\u2019s second-largest Jewish population, after Argentina, numbering 120,000 people, according to the Confedera\u00e7\u00e3o Israelita do Brasil, which represents the community there. <\/p>\n<p>It also has 3.2mn inhabitants of Lebanese origin or ancestry, according to a survey commissioned by the Arab-Brazilian Chamber of Commerce. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have known for a while that Hizbollah has people here in the northern area, closer to Venezuela, and in the triple border in Foz do Igua\u00e7u [region with large waterfalls]. We have heard for a long time that there is a presence there,\u201d Israel\u2019s ambassador to Brazil, Daniel Zonshine, told CNN. \u201cBut we didn\u2019t know they had activity here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Additional reporting by Beatriz Langella <\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Read the full article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/628a337b-a4e4-462c-91b6-ae8ef11a5e2a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Unlock the Editor\u2019s Digest for free Roula Khalaf, Editor of the FT, selects her favourite stories in this weekly newsletter.
