In Rio de Janeiro, polls show that Gabeira - a guerrilla-turned-congressman who in 1969 masterminded the abduction of the U.S. ambassador to Rio, Charles Elbrick, to protest the military dictatorship - has a fighting chance to become mayor of Brazil's second-largest city. (AP Photo/Silvia Izquierdo)AP - Brazil's ruling party lost its chance to retake control of South America's biggest city on Sunday, while an ex-guerrilla who once kidnapped a U.S. ambassador failed in his bid to become mayor of Rio de Janeiro.
