Title:Peru: Sendero Luminoso Guerrillas Present Challenge To Peru's Government
Date:28th July 1984
Summary:After 4 years of escalating warfare, Peru's Sendero Luminoso guerrillas are emerging as one of South America's leading rebel forces - and their tactics are providing a challenge for Peru's armed forces. The war between the guerrillas and government troops has claimed an estimated 5000 lives, many of them civilians. To add to President Belaunde Terry's internal security problems, the Marxist left wing has launched a strong bid for the presidency.
