Peru's Shining Path rebels have killed 13 soldiers in an ambush in the south east of the country, the country's defence minister says.
Antero Flores Araoz said the rebels had used dynamite and grenades to attack the military patrol on Thursday. The dead included a captain and 12 of his soldiers. Two others were wounded and one is still missing.
The ambush is one of the deadliest operations by the once-formidable guerrillas in the past decade. Mr Flores said the incident took place on Thursday, but news had been delayed by poor communications with the region. |
