Peru's government announced it will cancel a controversial mining concession after at least 6 protesters were killed...with at least 30 injured...while clashing with 100 riot police...as some 4,000 anti-mining demonstrators...many indigena Aymaras...attempted to occupy the Juliaca airport.
For weeks, protesters have been demanding the revocation of a silver mining concession granted to Canada-based Bear Creek Mining Corporation on Lake Titicaca...because of pollution fears.
