Assault on Chuschi and Cachacancha

Ten hooded attackers, disguised and armed with machine guns, assaulted the towns of Chuschi and Cachacancha in the province of Cangallo, Ayacucho. This attack took place in the context of the military campaign known as 'Batir I', which took place from July 1982 to October 1982. The assault was part of a wave of violence that included 34 terrorist actions and five massive raids on small towns during that period.
