Resumen:
| National police, helped in this drug-producing region by U.S.-donated helicopters, intelligence and training, said the Shining Path is regrouping with far stronger ties than in the past to the drug trade, particularly the lucrative commerce in opium poppies. The money is helping the group modestly increase its numbers in this largely ungoverned expanse of valleys and jungles called the Upper Huallaga and elsewhere across rural Peru. Integral to the process are Colombian drug traffickers, who police said supply farmers with poppy seeds and start-up credits for planting, and provide the Shining Path with arms to protect their investments. |
