Suddenly...President Ollanta Humala's seemingly successful bid to develop Peru and bring it more prosperity...is being seriously challenged by some crafty narco rebel brothers.
The 3 Quispe Palomino brothers have resurrected the long defeated Shining Path narco rebels...and shaken Ollanta's government...and awakened deep-seated fears in the citizenry of the Sendero Luminoso.
With only 500 soldiers...the narcos made news by abducting 36 nat gas workers...and then ambushing, killing 8 security forces and embarrassing Peru's military.
The defeat cost 2 ministers their jobs.
President Humala's popularity had dropped...even as the economy based on mining continues to prosper.
