Dark Corner. The Unknown History of MRTA Leader Miguel Rincón Rincón
On the morning of Friday, December 1, as radio and TV newscasts reported on the negotiations between security forces and the MRTA group entrenched in a house in La Molina, on the other side of the city, in Callao, doña Nilda, a retired schoolteacher, had a premonition that her son, Miguel Rincón, was there. Doña Nilda began to cry. Hugging her granddaughter, she could not explain the reason for her tears. She had not seen her son in many years. She did not know what he looked like. She did not even know whether he was still alive. When she saw him on television, with wavy hair and somewhat heavier, shouting slogans for the MRTA, she only said "thank God he is still alive."
