- <p>Peru's President locks Shining Path's Guzman away for life
- </p>
- <p> Like a big-game hunter displaying his prize catch, Peruvian
- President Alberto Fujimori paraded Shining Path leader Abimael
- Guzman Reynoso before the people. Guzman, wearing prison
- pinstripes and surrounded by hooded guards, was placed in a cage
- aboard a gunboat and transferred from his island prison to a
- maximum-security windowless cell at a navy base on the mainland.
- Fujimori staged the media event to draw attention to the
- successes of his war on terrorism and to justify his "government
- of emergency" declared a year ago. The boasting did not go
- unanswered. In a violent response, Shining Path guerrillas set
- off bombs in Lima and ambushed a patrol in the countryside,
- killing seven police, three soldiers and a civilian.
