Shining Path Attacks Natural Gas Pipeline Camp

Peru’s Armed Forces said Monday that remnants of the Shining Path rebel group attacked a natural gas work camp in the country’s southern Cusco region.

The attack occurred in the district of Echarate and was aimed at a camp for workers of Transportadora de Gas del Peru, a consortium that operates the pipeline that transports gas from the Camisea fields in the Amazon basin to Peru’s south coast.

According to daily Peru.21, a 31-year-old worker was injured in the attack by a gunshot to the stomach. The worker is in stable condition, the newspaper reported.

The incident occurred in the remote jungle region known strategically as the Vraem, which straddles the valleys of the Apurimac, Ene and Mantaro Rivers. The Vraem is now Peru’s top cocaine producing region.

In 2012, Shining Path rebels in the Vraem kidnapped about 40 workers from two contract companies working with Transportadora de Gas del Peru. Some 10 police officers and military personnel were killed in an ensuing rescue mission.

The consortium temporarily suspended work on expanding the capacity of the pipeline due to the lack of security in the area. Gas transported from the pipeline is an important source for generating electricity in Peru.

Experts believe there are some 300 to 500 Shining Path fighters still active in the Vraem region. The group is far smaller than the Shining Path insurgency that threatened to overthrow the Peruvian state in the 1980s and early 1990s and, actively involved in protecting coca farmers and cocaine producers, has little if any of the ideological principles of the original group.

  1. Are you so sure they don’t have the same principles? Seems like a bold statement.

    The article doesn’t say anything about the motive behind the attack. Was it to destroy the pipeline? Did they damage property or supplies or just shoot someone in the gut (which seems unlikely). More info please!!

    Monster Energy Engine
    I look forward to working together for marketing my three patents .the first internal combustion engine patent which operate at a straight axis(engine main power shaft) instead of zigzag crank. Second new energy engine which development to new green energy system .third New mechanical control system patent and possessed other strategic inventions more important than patents mentioned above .
    The Diesel monster energy engine will get rid world entirely from dirtiest way to produce energy by steam turbine & gas turbine engines which responsible for the destruction of the environment due to consume high quantity of fuel to produce electricity and in future monster engine will be the unique which will be used for the production of electric power in the world. Because get rid totally from Zigzag Crank Shaft by instead crank by main straight Shaft ( axis ) ie the main engine power Shaft straight and mesh with Pistons connected rods gears so now we can design with unlimited Pistons numbers .
    Engine size equivalent size of a football playground and the height of this engine multi-storey building consists of dozens of stages and each stage consists of several hundreds of units and each unit consists of dozens of pistons The size of the pistons unlimited longer than a meter in diameter and piston stroke long several meters this new engine will be first diesel engine work at two strokes consist 100 flywheels per 1000 pistons and the mass of each one flywheels 50kg so the weight 100 flywheels 5 tens . i.e. the-dimensional of this engine longer from 6- 500 meter or more width from 1-400 or more and height from 1-10 meter or more. The method of building this engine very much like the style of building residential buildings.
    the first step to build a huge iron structure of the same size and the magnitude of the engine according to the desired design.
    The second step is stuffing mono cylinder engine with all the contents within the structure of the iron. Chassis
    Elements that we need to build this engine is
    First – Mono Engine cylinder
    Second– gears
    Thirdly– axes or Shaft
    — Fourth— industrial iron structure of two types
    1 – A– type iron sheets or Plates
    B– industrial iron type H to build structure monster engine
