| Shining Path kills 13 soldiers | |
| 2009-04-12 | |
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. | |
