Brazil reveals anti-bomb equipment for 2014 WCup

Brazilian authorities have revealed the anti-bomb equipment and related devices that will be used at the 2014 World Cup.

Brazil's federal police say three remote-controlled robots and other accessories have already been delivered and that nine other units will be distributed to all 12 host cities for football's biggest event at a cost of $860,000 each.

Federal police official Adauto Zago told TV Globo's G1 website that the equipment is among the most modern on the market.

Brazil has historically not been a target of terrorist attacks, but the high-profile event has put local authorities on alert.

The robots also will be used at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics.
