BRASILIA (Reuters) - Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva was displeased by a new industrial development plan announced on Monday by the government and told ministers it lacked clear targets, said two people familiar with the matter.

Lula's complaints were made during a meeting ahead of the public announcement of the plan on Monday, the sources said, in which his agenda listed two ministers.
