Suspected left-wing rebels in Peru bombed two English language institutes, shattering windows and ripping up metal shutters but causing no injuries, police said. The institutes have ties to the U.S. Embassy but are financially independent. A Marxist group, the Tupac Amaru Revolutionary Movement, was blamed for the bombings. One bomb exploded outside the six-story headquarters of the U.S.-Peruvian Cultural Institute in downtown Lima, police said. At about the same time, rebels set off two small explosions at a branch of the institute in the seaside Miraflores district, police added.
