Rebel Chief Surrenders, but Station Is Still Held
The leader of a Peruvian paramilitary nationalist group that seized a police station, took 10 officers hostage and allegedly killed four others surrendered as security forces besieged his followers, who were barricaded inside the building in the town of Andahuaylas, officials said.
Former army Maj. Antauro Humala and about 90 of his followers were in custody after turning themselves in to National Police Chief Felix Murazzo, a spokeswoman for Interior Minister Javier Reategui said. But about 30 remained holed up inside the building. A police sharpshooter killed one rebel on the roof.
