RIO DE JANEIRO -- Ten Brazilians who pledged allegiance to the Islamic State militant group were arrested Thursday, authorities announced, describing them as amateurs who discussed on social media the possibility of staging attacks during next months Olympics.Justice Minister Alexandre de Moraes said in the capital, Brasilia, that the 10 were being held on two terrorism-related charges and that two more people were being sought.Authorities said any attack plan would have had little chance of coming to fruition, citing the groups lack of resources and skills.But officials and security experts argued that police were justified in being aggressive in light of lone wolf attacks staged in the U.S. and Europe by men with little or no training.Moraes said police acted because the group discussed using weapons and guerrilla tactics to potentially launch an attack during the Olympics, which begin in Rio de Janeiro on Aug. 5. They will remain in police custody for at least 30 days.They were complete amateurs and ill-prepared to actually launch an attack, Moraes said. A few days ago they said they should start practicing martial arts, for example.He said that there were no specific targets for an attack, but that even disorganized groups have to be taken seriously.The possibility of an attack is not so far-fetched even though Brazil has never been a target for terrorism, said Alex Kassirer, a counterterrorism analyst at Flashpoint, a New York-based intelligence group.The Olympics is a really unique opportunity to be able to target a concentration of all of the enemies in one area, she said.Kassirer pointed out the Islamic State group launched a channel in May on the messaging app Telegram to disseminate jihadi propaganda specifically in Portuguese. On Sunday, another channel vowed allegiance to IS, although its authenticity has not been determined, she said.The arrests were made in 10 different states, including Sao Paulo and Parana in the southern part of the country, and it was not clear whether the suspects knew each other beyond their online contacts.Moraes said authorities seized computers, cellphones and other equipment, but no weapons.Authorities said the investigation that began in April showed the suspects had all been baptized as Islamic State sympathizers online but none had actually traveled to Syria or Iraq, the groups stronghold, or received any training. Several were allegedly trying to secure financing from IS.Investigators said none of the suspects was of Arab descent, but released no details on their religion. They were described as being between the ages of 20 and 40, except for one minor.Newton de Oliveira, a professor and security specialist at Mackenzie Presbyterian University in Rio de Janeiro, applauded authorities for detecting the group, saying recent world events raised worries about terrorism during the sporting event.But he cautioned it was hard to say how serious this threat was.Its not clear whether we are talking about young people getting carried away or if they were going to move forward with actions, Oliveira said.The justice minister said one of the suspects communicated with a store in Paraguay via email in an alleged attempt to buy an AK-47 assault rifle, apparently the most concrete action taken toward a possible attack. The email communication was intercepted by police.Brazilians are allowed to possess small firearms but must have a license and training to do so. Only members of the military may possess assault weapons like the AK-47, although those and other firearms are common in the country, especially in slums controlled by drug gangs.Last week the top military aide for Brazils interim government said concerns over terrorism had reached a higher level after the truck attack that killed 84 people in Nice, France.Officials did not raise the countrys terror alert level Thursday following the raids.Security has emerged as the top concern during the Olympics, including violence possibly spilling over from Rios hundreds of slums. Authorities have said 85,000 police officers and soldiers will be patrolling during the competitions.---This story has been corrected to reflect that the store from which one suspect allegedly tried to acquire an assault rifle is in Paraguay, not Brazil.

MILAN -- Mauro Icardi ended the longest goalscoring drought of his Inter Milan career with two goals that may have saved the job of coach Frank De Boer.Inter had lost three successive Serie A matches and De Boer was reportedly on the verge of being fired but Wednesdays 2-1 victory over Torino has likely given the Dutch manager some respite.It was the most difficult match of my career, De Boer said. I have always been focused on the Torino match. I dont let myself be influenced by anything.Im not used to losing three matches in a row. Neither as a footballer nor as a coach. But I have always had great pressure to win.Icardi made a fantastic start to the season, with six goals in seven matches, but had not scored for six games in all competition.The Argentine forward ended that run in the 35th minute, thanks in part to a mistake by England goalkeeper Joe Hart, who is on loan from Manchester City.Icardi beat the offside trap to run onto Antonio Candrevas through ball. Hart rushed out and appeared to save the ball but only succeeded in pushing it onto Icardi and it ricocheted into the back of the net.Inter gifted Torino the equalizer shortly after the hour when Andrea Belotti flicked on a long ball and Inter defenders Cristian Ansaldi and Jeison Murillo fell over each other, allowing the Italy forward to fire into the far side of the net.Icardi secured the victory two minutes from time with a stunning strike, carving out space just inside the area before curling into the top left corner.---JUVENTUS 4, SAMPDORIA 1Juventus bounced back from a shock defeat to AC Milan at the weekend with a convincing win on Wednesday.The Serie A leader and five-time reigning champion had thrashed Cagliari 4-0 after its only previous league defeat and it appeared as if Sampdoria was in for similar punishment when Juventus went 2-0 up inside nine minutes.Mario Mandzukic netted his first goal of the season in the fourth minute, heading in Juan Cuadrados cross, and Giorgio Chiellini nodded in Miralem Pjanics corner shortly after.Patrik Schick got Sampdoria back into the match in the 57th but Pjanic restored Juves two-goal advantage seven minutes later and Chiellini doubled his tally late on.The match was also Claudio Marchisios first in more than six months. The Italy midfielder had been sidelined since he tore his cruciate ligament in April.Marchisio went off in the 72nd minute to resounding applause from the Juventus Stadium.---SASSUOLO 1, ROMA 3Edin Dzeko moved to the top of the scoring standings with another double.Dzekos first season was full of disappointment after Roma signed him from Manchester City in August 2015.dddddddddddd But the Bosnia and Herzegovina forward has now scored 10 league goals in as many matches this season -- two more than he netted in his 31 previous appearances.Its all down to him, Roma coach Luciano Spalletti said. Sometimes he makes you angry, other times you have to stand up and applaud.Paolo Cannavaro headed Sassuolo in front in the 12th minute but Dzeko leveled in the 57th with an angled strike into the far corner.He doubled his tally from the penalty spot in the 75th after being tripped by Pol Lirola.Radja Nainggolan sealed the win three minutes later, tapping in the rebound after Andrea Consigli could only parry Stephan El Shaarawys effort.The celebratory mood ended shortly before full time when Roma midfielder Alessandro Florenzi was carried off the pitch in tears after appearing to seriously injure his knee.We are all upset and it removes the joy at the victory a bit, Spalletti said.Tests immediately after the match revealed Florenzis injury may not be as bad as first thought as he does not appear to have ruptured his cruciate ligament. The Italy international will undergo more tests.Roma remained second, two points behind Juventus.---NAPOLI 2, EMPOLI 0Napoli is just two points behind Roma, in third spot, adding more excitement to the eagerly-anticipated match against Juventus on Saturday.Maurizio Sarris side found it tougher than expected against Empoli but eventually broke the deadlock six minutes into the second half when Jose Callejons cross was deflected, allowing Dries Mertens to turn in at the far post.Both goalkeepers made stunning saves before Vlad Chiriches sealed the win eight minutes from time, tapping in Marek Hamsiks corner at the back post.---OTHER MATCHESPescaras match against Atalanta and Fiorentinas game against Crotone were both temporarily halted because of an earthquake and a waterlogged pitch.A 5.4-magnitude earthquake struck central Italy about 90 minutes before kickoff and there was a second one, measuring 6.1, a half hour into the match in Pescara.After several minutes of concern, the match resumed and Atalanta went on to win 1-0.The match in Florence was suspended in the 18th minute as heavy rain made the pitch unplayable.Diego Falcinelli gave Crotone a surprise lead shortly after it resumed, approximately 40 minutes later, but Davide Astori ensured it finished 1-1 when he bundled in the equalizer five minutes from time.Elsewhere, Lazio beat Cagliari 4-1 and Bologna drew 1-1 at Chievo Verona.
