THE WEEK, Page 24WORLDEt Cetera
NO QUARTER
The latest offensive by Peru's Shining Path guerrillas has
reached unprecedented ferocity -- and has focused on Lima,
which has never experienced such a brutal wave of attacks.
Starting in mid-July with a car bomb that killed more than 20
people in the capital, the campaign has flared into a full-scale
blitz. Last week bombs destroyed several police stations, a
private research center and the Bolivian embassy. Though
President Alberto Fujimori, who canceled his trip to an
Ibero-American summit in Madrid, has promised a "battle without
mercy," his police and army seem helpless.
CASH LANDING
A federal jury in New York City made the first award to
relatives of a victim of the 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103
over Lockerbie, Scotland -- and it was a whopper. The family of
Robert Pagnucco, an assistant general counsel at Pepsi Co and
one of the 270 people killed in the terrorist bombing, was
granted $9.2 million. A previous trial had held Pan Am
responsible for its lax security. Although the defunct airline
plans to appeal that finding, its insurers could face more
million-dollar verdicts in the 200 or so compensation cases
brought by the families of other victims.
