RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL - JUNE 6: A heavily armed policeman provides security for construction workers at a cave site used by drug dealers to incinerate their victims in a bush area June 6, 2003 at Morro da Grota shantytown, one of the most dangerous in Rio de Janeiro. The cave is know as "the microwave oven" and was used a ago to burn the body of award winning TV producer Tim Lopes, who was doing an investigative news story on the drug trade in the community. The workers left the area after less than two hours out of safety concerns. Already used to living in a city with one Brazil's highest crime rates, Rio's residents have been terrorized with a surge in violence since the beginning of the year, with a series of business shutdowns, bombings and gun battles promoted by the city's drug dealers, who control most of Rio's shantytowns. The federal government's National Internal Security Plan places Brazil's states' police departments under the Federal Police and forces state governments to take a series of coordinated measures to clean its police forces as well as increase its efficiency.
