One of the most shocking actions in the Alto Cunas area occurred on November 9 and 10, 1989, when the PCP-SL took the town of Quero, assassinating four villagers. This action was part of a wave of violence that included the systematic assassination of authorities and peasant leaders in the area. The attack was part of the Shining Path's strategy of territorial control in the district of San José de Quero, where the PCP-SL had been forcing the authorities to resign since 1987 and had organized popular committees. This event was one of those that later motivated the organization of peasant patrols in the area.
