Peru's Shining Path have rebels killed 13 soldiers in two separate ambushes in the south-east of the country.
The defence minister, Antero Flores Araoz, said the rebels attacked a military patrol with grenades and dynamite killing a captain and 11 soldiers in one of the most deadliest attacks by the guerrillas in the past decade.
Both attacks took place in the Ayacucho region, 340 miles from the capital, Lima.

The assault, one of the deadliest by the once-formidable Maoist guerrilla group in the past decade, also left one person missing and two more wounded.
"Most of the soldiers plunged over a cliff," the minister said, but the circumstances of the deaths and the fall off the mountainside were not immediately clear.
The ambush came only hours after one soldier was killed and four were wounded in another Shining Path attack on a military patrol in the same area of Ayacucho department, 550 kilometers (341 miles) southeast of the capital Lima. - AFP
The Left in Peru prosecuted Alberto Fujimori now their fellow travelors are killing soldiers again, it’s pathetically predictable.
Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the jungle! I wonder at the coincidence of the timing... wasn’t Fujimori just sentence for human rights violations in his fight against the SP?
Every country in Central and South America needs a Pinochet.
Mexico could use one, too.
By the next election, the US will need one.
If you've ever seen Peruvian roads you can fully understand how they could plunge over a cliff without an attack.
They need to bring back Fujimori!
RIP.
