Explosive found at Brazil shrine before pope trip: army

2. Did the headline change after you posted this?

I just clicked the link you posted, and this part of the story is almost and afterthought.

It's strange. AFP changed the headline, I guess. Brazilians throng streets to greet pope HEre is the beginning of the 4th paragraph:

After massive protests over lagging public services and corruption that regularly ended in violence in recent weeks, authorities wanted to ensure an incident-free visit for the pontiff.

The army said soldiers discovered an explosive device during a training session on Sunday in a bathroom at the Shrine of Our Lady of Aparecida in Sao Paulo state, which the pope will visit on Wednesday.

The home-made device was destroyed and authorities said it was nowhere near the area where the pope or pilgrims will congregate.
Pope Francis came to Brazil, an emerging power with a shrinking Catholic flock, to promote his vision of a more humble church and to attend World Youth Day, a week-long event drawing more than one million young Catholics.

It seems the AFP changed the story.
