    Brazil seals land borders with 30.000 troops ahead of the World Cup

    The internationally coordinated effort is part of a strategic border security plan announced in June 2011.

    Brazil began deploying over the weekend some 30,000 troops to secure its borders as it prepares to host the World Cup that kicks off next month. The operation involving the army, navy and air force will extend over the 16,900-kilometer frontier separating the South American giant from its 10 neighbors.
