PARAGUAY: EPP responds to state of ‘exception’ with attacks
Just two weeks after President Fernando Lugo promulgated a law establishing a new 60-day state of ‘exception’ in the northern departments of San Pedro and Concepción to launch another drive against the guerrillas of the Ejército del Pueblo Paraguayo (EPP), the EPP staged two successive attacks in Concepción.

Police believe they have found indications that the EPP has been recruiting new members.
