PERU: 'Narcoterrorists' ambush police, attack army
Prime Minister Pedro Pablo Kuczynski may have exaggerated when, in September, he said that Peru was facing a 'more acute problem of terrorism than four years ago', but he was closer to the mark than Defence Minister Marciano Rengifo who claimed that the 'terrorist remnants' operating in Ayacucho and Junín were 'under control' [WR-05-38]. In early December police were killed in an ambush in Ayacucho and army helicopters came under fire in Junín - in both cases reportedly attacked by
'narcoterrorists'.
