Brazilian police investigated a suspected bomb threat in the country's capital Brasilia, just days prior to Brazilian President-elect Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva's inauguration ceremony, according to a local news report on Tuesday.

A suspicious backpack had been reportedly left near the gas reservoir of one of the city's hotels and a bomb squad was dispatched to the location, the report noted.

In the past several days, the police had received four different alerts regarding probable bomb threats.
The most critical incident occurred on December 24, when explosives were discovered near a truck in the vicinity of Brasilia International Airport. The culprit in this case was apprehended.
