Haquira raid
On December 3, 1988, a PCP-SL detachment raided Haquira, Cotabambas, Apurimac, killing five people, including three French and two Peruvian aid workers. This attack provoked the withdrawal of CICDA from the area.
A detachment of the PCP-SL raided the town of Haquira, in the province of Cotabambas, Apurimac, where they killed five people. This action was part of a PCP-SL campaign that lasted for almost three months throughout the border area between Cotabambas and Chumbivilcas. As a consequence of the murder of three French and two Peruvian aid workers in Haquira, CICDA (International Cooperation Center for Agricultural Development) withdrew its promotion programs in the provinces of Chumbivilcas and Espinar. The growth of the Shining Path was notorious in the highland provinces during this period.
