Are Shining Path Terrorists Resurging In Peru?
GLOBAL VOICES ONLINE/ Long report, sometimes in Spanish.
"In Peru, there has been talk about the resurgence of the terrorist movement “Shining Path,” because of various news reports of attacks on police stations and military bases, as well as reports of young people being trained by the movement. Even though there has been no reliable proof that the attacks were caused by the Shining Path, which had been especially active during the 1980s, and instead linked to drug traffickers or general social unrest, the national and international press have suggested that this group has indeed returned."
