WORLD IN BRIEF : PERU : 11 Killed in Attack on Anniversary of Coup

Maoist guerrillas killed or wounded 19 people in an attack apparently intended to remind Peruvians a year after President Alberto Fujimori’s break with constitutional rule that the rebels have not been vanquished. Breaking a relative calm which prevailed in most of the country for weeks, the guerrillas ambushed a patrol truck on the Santiago de Chuco-Trujillo highway, 330 miles north of Lima, killing 10 members of the security forces and a civilian driver. Eight police and soldiers were wounded. The ambush coincided with the first anniversary of Fujimori’s decision to seize broad powers. On April 5, 1992, he closed Congress and the courts, saying both blocked his strategy against guerrillas and economic reforms.
