PERU: Turning to Israel for skills and strategy against SL
Another attack by Sendero Luminoso (SL) guerrillas has found the
Peruvian military still bereft of the promised new counter-insurgency strategy.
The government, however, has hired a private Israeli security firm, Global CST
[Comprehensive Security Transformation], to train the military in
counter-insurgency skills, in the hope that the results will be similar to those
it has achieved in Colombia. Its owner, a former top Israeli general has
reportedly vowed to 'deactivate all terrorist activity in the
VRAE'.
