Peru Insurgency Update

by H. Thomas Hayden on December 27, 2009

The insurgency in Peru is returning to high levels of activity that was thought to be fading in the last couple years. Recent  reports indicate that the terrorist group know as The Shining Path is growing with the drug trade.

The Peruvian government has ordered the military to take over control of security from police in the southeastern region of Peru. The armed forces will “assume control of internal order” in the valley of Apurimac and the Ene rivers.

What are the implications of the rebirth of the insurgency in Peru for the United States?
