Explosive Threats - Opinion Column
The Shining Path attack on the town of Nuevo Progreso in the Huallaga region last weekend shows that the resurgence of the terrorist threat is considerably more than "the final death throes" of SL, as it is routinely characterized by official circles. It had been some time since SL assembled such a large contingent to assault a police post in that region, as happened on this occasion, with the tragic toll of four officers killed.
