2008-08-04 |
(Xinhua) -- Peruvian police seized some 6,000 improvised explosive devices in a truck in downtown Lima on Friday, news reaching here from Lima said. Initial investigations showed that terrorists may have planned to use the explosives to launch bomb attacks in crowded areas of Peru's capital city, or in some key mining sites in the country, police said. All the four people on the truck, including a 72-year-old driver, were detained by police, said the police. |

#4 In 'Day of Islam', author Paul Williams places several AQ cells in Peru, Paraguay, Brazil, Bolivia, and Chile, where Iquique became a money-laundering center for ME men with EU passports. He also claims Bin Laden purchased homes, offices, and apartment buildings in Peru as safe havens and bases of operations, with the help of former head of Peruvian intelligence Vladmiro Montesinos. Hiding radical Muslims among the Roman Catholic community, they also provided phony documents and tourist visas, smuggling hundreds from Iraq, Jordan, and other Islamist countries into Dulles and Detroit. Other details in chapter 10. |

#3 Sounds like Venezuela and Ecuador are exporting their "revolution". We might hear something in a couple of days, after the "interrogation". The Peruvians still remember the dark days of the Spanish invasion, and the nice things the Conquistadores did to extract information. |

#2 That's an awful lot of boom for Peru, isn't it? What kind of terrorists? I thought the Shining Path was one with the material dialectic. |
