The US government approved the sale of sniper rifles to Brazil’s BOPE police unit last year, despite objections from American diplomats who feared the weapons could be used in extrajudicial killings, Reuters reported. The unit, long accused of human rights abuses, recently led a deadly raid in Rio de Janeiro that left 121 people dead, drawing international condemnation.
