Uchiza Disaster - Attack on anti-narcotics police base
Narcoterrorist attack on Uchiza police base kills 10 police officers and executes officers
On March 27, 1989, the largest anti-narcotics police base in Peru, located in Uchiza, was attacked by hundreds of narcoterrorists armed with weapons of war. During the hours of resistance, the police were in permanent radio contact with Lima and the surrounding military bases, but received no help. At dawn, with ten dead and dozens wounded, the police surrendered amidst the ruins of their base demolished by explosives. The surviving officers were killed.
