Tue, 07 Feb 2012 20:30:02 +0100 (Reuters) - Army soldiers stand outside the Legislative Assembly as striking police officers from the northeastern state of Bahiato are inside the building, occupying it in protest, in Salvador da Bahia February 7, 2012. A toll of 115 murders and widespread looting, assaults and vandalism in the past week are roiling Brazil's third-biggest city, casting doubts over upcoming carnival celebrations and raising questions about security ahead of the 2014 World Cup. More than 3,000 federal troops were dispatched to the northeastern state of Bahia in recent days to restore order after much of the state's military police force went on strike last Tuesday to demand higher wages.
